Philosophy of Gifted and Talented Education
The Ogdensburg City School District is committed to the ideal that education is a vehicle through which each individual child may advance towards his or her fullest potential.
We recognize that children with special gifts require enrichment experiences beyond the scope of the regular program.
Accordingly, our program is intended to provide opportunities for the development of the unique qualities inherent in our gifted and talented children.
Differentiated programs and services beyond those normally provided by the regular school program for students capable of high performance are necessary to assist these identified students to reach their full potential.
Our goal is to enable each student to attain maximum growth, both as a person and as a responsible, contributing member of society.
