AIG & Advanced Learning Department Vision

With a mindset of talent development, Lee County Schools seeks to recognize potential in all student populations. Recognizing that gifted behaviors may be evident in a student’s aptitude, academic performance, motivation, or social interactions, Lee County Schools is committed to providing an academic, intellectual, and social/emotional support system so that students may reach their full potential by matching service with the students’ identified abilities. In partnership with parents and community, Lee County Schools will identify, develop, and serve gifted potential in students.
