AIG Program

The Capitol Encore Academy's Academically and Intellectually Gifted Program services students in grades K-12

​

​* NOTICE OF GIFTED SERVICES PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS & DUE PROCESS PROCEDURES PURSUANT TO N.C.G.S. § 115C-150.7(b)(7)​

Welcome

to The Capitol Encore Academy's AIG Program. In conjunction with our Local Plan for the Education of the Gifted, the division has made a number of improvements to our K-12  program.

 

Programs at the elementary level continue to identify and develop high-ability learners from all student populations. The goal of the TALENT Program in grades K-2 is to identify students who have the potential of being formally identified as gifted in grade 3 and frontload information. The TALENT Program works with these children to further develop their cognitive abilities. The grades 3-8 program infuses differentiated science, technology, engineering, and mathematical (STEM)instruction into the elementary gifted classroom with real-world project opportunities. Classroom and resource teachers collaboratively develop and deliver instruction to meet all students' needs. An expanded course catalog at the high school includes FTCC Connections, Project Lead The Way Science Courses, and Honors courses. 

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We enthusiastically welcome both new and returning participants to our program.

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Lisamarie Collaco

Coordinator of Gifted Education

AIG MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES

Mission

At The Capitol Encore Academy, we believe that AIG Students should receive appropriate differentiated instruction from trained teachers that address individual needs.  We believe that our gifted and talented program must have a broad base representation of students from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.  These students will have resources to maximize their potential as appropriate to their educational needs and talents.  In addition, the social-emotional needs of gifted students should be recognized and addressed.

Vision

Through an Arts Based Education, it is our vision that gifted students have the opportunity to:

  • Develop higher level thinking skills

  • Develop creative thinking and problem solving skills

  • Develop research skills as applied to "real world" problems

  • Progress at rate and pace appropriate to abilities and learning styles

  • Develop effective communication skills

  • Create products that are unique and synthesize major concepts

  • Develop self-esteem and self-understanding

  • Work with others of similar ability

Values 

A: All gifted students have unique learning profiles and needs regardless of their background. 

I: Inclusion of gifted students' needs factors into all phases of curriculum and instruction.

G: Growth must be measured in multiple ways and align with an individual student's SMART goals.
