Temple ISD offers a continuum of educational opportunities for identified gifted and talented students with advanced academic needs from kindergarten through grade 12. Kindergarten students are identified through a prescreening and nomination process that begins in the fall. Identified kindergarteners begin services by March 1 through their classroom teacher. Gifted and talented students in grades 1 through 5 are provided Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) classes on their home campuses, or may qualify for the EXCELL program which serves highly gifted students. Gifted and talented students in grades 6, 7 and 8 are enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Seminar (IDS) course which combines the Pre-AP curriculum for language arts and social studies in an interdisciplinary setting. These students are also enrolled in advanced math or science courses, if appropriate. High school gifted and talented students are channeled into IB World Geography in their freshman year and encouraged to follow the AP or IB route to graduation.
