Aiken County Area 3 Gifted and Talented (G/T)
G/T stands for Gifted and Talented Educational Program. It is a state mandated program that serves students in grades 3 – 12. The Area 3 program is designed to challenge your child. Students will work on interdisciplinary units based on “big ideas”. The student will develop the skills and attitudes of inquiry, critical analysis, and creative thinking. Library, research skills and methods and procedures in problem solving will be emphasized. The student will become more self-directed and more able to pursue independent investigations into any kind of problem.

Students from the five elementary schools (Byrd, Clearwater, Gloverville, Jefferson and Warrenville) in Area 3 are served at Jefferson Elementary School. This allows us to have the students most of the school day instead of a partial day. Bus transportation is provided for students. Students are expected to attend G/T classes unless they are sick or have written parent permission.
