The Belle Vernon Area High School Gifted Support Program aids a student’s
enrichment with activities that are generally off-campus. Individual support
activities are determined through a gifted individual education prescription (GIEP)
developed by the Support Team comprised of school administrators, teachers, the
student and his/her parents.
Curriculum work is in the student's targeted area(s) and may be cross-curricular
in nature. Activities are generally above grade level, project oriented,
off-campus seminar, competition, or juried assignments. Focus on learning at
the analysis level is the ultimate goal. Both team work and specialized
individual activities are included. Students participate according to
strengths, needs and GIEP objectives.
