Gifted & Talented
Welcome to the Gifted & Talented program at South Atlanta High School. We will collaborate with your scholar‘s teachers to ensure that your child(ren) is challenged in ways that are appropriate to their abilities.
We are excited about a number of programs and classes that will meet your child’s needs for academic curiosity and autonomy, increased rigor, and a faster paced instruction including:
- A variety of AP and Honor classes
- Academic Decathalon
- Curriculum focused on building competency in knowledge and skills that will prepare students for a STEM driven work-force (across subject areas)
It is our hope that your child(ren) will find their participation in the gifted program full of rich experiences that will inspire their love of learning—both inside and outside the classroom, and throughout life. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child's gifted teacher(s) or gifted administrator.
