Bertie County Schools AIG Program

North Carolina Definition of Giftedness

Academically or intellectually gifted students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience or environment.  Academically or intellectually gifted students exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields or in both intellectual areas and specific academic fields.  Academically or intellectually gifted students require differentiated education services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program.  Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata and in all of human endeavor.
