SAS & Gifted/Talented

Palms has received the Schools for Advanced Studies (SAS) designation for our innovative and equitable Gifted and Talented (GATE) Program. Palms provides high-quality differentiated instruction with an emphasis on depth, complexity, acceleration and novelty, and offers high-level academic opportunities that meet the unique educational needs of gifted learners.

Students can be identified in the Intellectual Ability, High Achievement Ability, Specific Academic Ability, Creative Ability, and/or Leadership Ability categories, or verified based on achievement or critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

At Palms, we have created an exciting program that challenges not only our GATE students, but all students through our innovative work with Systems Thinking.
