Gifted and Talented (G/T) students are academically gifted students who consistently excel or show the potential to excel in critical and productive thinking. Their superior intellectual abilities allow them to achieve excellence in specific subject areas at a significantly higher level and faster pace than that of their peers. Van ISD serves G/T students through a differentiated curriculum that challenges critical thinking and problem-solving, encourages independent thinking, nurtures creativity and divergent thinking, and fosters social responsibility in order to develop students’ potential for the benefit of themselves and their society.

For information regarding the Gifted and Talented Programs, please contact your child's campus counselor or the Special Programs office at (903)963-8712.
