BUCKNELL'S GIFTED & TALENTED PROGRAM

The Gifted and Talented Program is designed to help all children develop their creative and critical thinking abilities to their fullest potential. Learning experiences are designed to develop this higher-level thinking through enrichment, acceleration, and extensions of the FCPS Program of Studies.

There are several different parts to the Gifted and Talented Program at Bucknell Elementary School. The most well-known one is the pull-out for grades 4 - 6. This group of identified gifted students meets once a week to develop critical and creative thinking skills. Children are identified by the local GT screening committee using teacher ratings, test scores and report cards.
