Renaissance provides specialized learning opportunities for students who have been identified as Gifted and Talented students. Many of the students at Renaissance Elementary's Discovery Program matriculate to Renaissance Secondary.
Gifted and talented students are those students between the ages of four and twenty-one whose abilities, talents, and potential for accomplishment are so exceptional or developmentally advanced that they require special provisions to meet their educational programming needs. Gifted students include students with disabilities (i.e. twice exceptional) and students with exceptional abilities or potential from all socio-economic and ethnic, cultural populations.
