The Bloomsburg Area School district provides enrichment and/or acceleration programming to students who are identified as gifted under Board Policy 114 (PDF).  Mentally gifted is defined as outstanding intellectual and creative ability, the development of which requires specially designed programs or support services, or both, not ordinarily provided in the regular education classroom.  The goal of our gifted services is to provide the educational opportunities and experiences within the core classes that will help gifted students extend learning, develop potential, and become independent learners.  Gifted support provides differentiated activities and opportunities through which students discover and develop their unique and individual needs, interests, talents, and abilities.
