Gifted – Henrico County Public Schools

Gifted

Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) identifies and serves gifted students in grades K-12. We recognize that students deserve educational opportunities commensurate with their needs and abilities. We are committed to the use of multiple criteria for identifying gifted students from all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Accordingly, we are able to provide a qualitatively differentiated instructional program that includes rigorous curriculum content and innovative instructional opportunities for students in grade K-12. We understand the complex social and emotional needs of gifted students and provide resources for parents and staff to support these needs.

Gifted Identification

Gifted identification is a multistep process used to identify K-12 students from various backgrounds who are eligible for service options through HCPS programs for the gifted.
