BELIEF

In the Telluride School District, we believe that gifts and exceptional talents…

• Can be found in academics, creativity, performing and visual arts, and leadership.

• Are found in students with special needs

• Can be found in students of all cultures, ethnicities, genders, and socio-economic status.

• Should be identified and developed.

• Must be nurtured in both the social development and the emotional well-being.

VISION

It is our vision to provide the following learning opportunities for our gifted and talented learners:  

• To provide an environment that cultivates and encourages intellectual and creative abilities.

• To provide students with instruction in the regular curriculum and acceleration and/or enrichment according to the student's strengths, interests, and learning styles.

• To develop a realistic self-concept that allows students to realize and acknowledge their own and others’ skills and talents. 

• To provide a classroom environment where students can freely and willingly communicate with their intellectual peers and teachers.

• To increasingly provide the opportunity, structure, and expectation to encourage constructive independence and self-sufficiency.
