Academics

Students who participate in the advanced content model of services at IGA will receive instruction that is  well-defined, grounded in the Georgia Standards of Excellence, with a level of pacing and rigor that is not  typical for an average student on that grade level. Gifted program standards will be met via instructional  practices rooted in content, processes and product differentiation. The objective of Dublin City Schools is to  assist identified gifted and high achieving students in reaching their full potential through a challenging  curriculum and differentiated instruction based on elaborate, complex, and in-depth studies of major themes,  ideas, and problems.
