Gifted Education
Lebanon City School District supports gifted students by providing challenging educational programs for identified students that vary in pace, complexity and/or content from that of the typical classroom.
We believe gifted students benefit from:
1- instructional environments that challenge students of similar abilities to learn from each other;
2- diversity in their educational experiences regarding instructional strategies, materials, and types of activities;
3- exposure to activities which are complex and can stretch and expand their abilities; and
4- a support system of district administration, teachers, and parents who will guide and counsel in self-development, decision-making and future planning.
