Bryant’s Gifted and Talented Department provides services to students who are identified as Gifted and Talented (GT) through a case study.  This case study looks to identify an interaction of high or superior ability, creativity, and task commitment through a variety of assessments and data collected on each student in order to determine a student’s need for services.  The Gifted and Talented Program is a service that strives to provide educational experiences that extend beyond the classroom curriculum and that build creative and critical thinking. 

Bryant Public Schools provide identified K-2 students with whole group enrichment. In 3rd-5th grade, GT identified students are served in a GT resource room through a pull-out program. GT identified students in grades 6 and above are served in Honors, Accelerated, AP®, and/or Concurrent Credit classes. 

If you feel your child needs and qualifies for this program, you can access the referral several different ways:

• Parents and guardians of students in 2nd grade and above may refer using an online form: Gifted and Talented Parent Referral/Programas de Hablidades Especiales Escuelas Publicas de Bryant.

The vision of the Bryant Gifted Program is to offer quality exemplary educational opportunities to motivate, to challenge, and to enable academic growth for all students.

The mission of the Bryant Gifted Program is to extend the depth and complexity of the learning experience for the gifted student by promoting higher level thought processes, critcal and creative thinking skills, freedom to study areas of interest to expanded levels of inquiry, and to develop within each individual a sense of individual worth and a responsibility to self and to society.
