Gifted & Talented

Gifted Programs

Our Gifted Programs provide identified academically talented students with a high quality, appropriate education that meets their special needs. Academically talented children are those who have superior intellectual abilities with the potential to perform at levels that exceed Texas academic standards. In addition, they have the potential to use abstract, creative, and productive thinking skills. These self-motivated children are able to sustain high academic performance. Their unique abilities and characteristics require special social and emotional support from family, community, and school to maximize all multiple talents.

Universal Academy provides advanced academic programs which ensure a learning continuum and reinforce the strengths, needs, and interests of academically talented students. The programs also support the unique needs of gifted English Language Learners.
