The GATE program supports high-achieving and underachieving pupils who are identified as gifted and talented. By state definition, gifted students are pupils who possess a capacity for excellence far beyond that of their chronological peers. This capacity includes many and varied characteristics that require modifications of curriculum and instruction. These modifications form the basis of gifted and talented educational services.
At EBS our GATE students are grouped using the "Diversity Model" otherwise known as Model B. Every class in grades 3 through 5 contains a minimum of 25% GATE certified students. The remainder of the class reflects the diversity of the school.
