Apache Junction Unified School District is committed to recognizing, nurturing, and challenging the unique talents and potential of gifted and advanced learners and meeting the unique needs of gifted learners cognitively, academically, and socially. We promote the development and growth of giftedness, critical thinking, and lifelong learning through differentiated instruction, enrichment, acceleration, and high-level courses.

Effective January 1, 2007, Gifted Education for Gifted Children has mandated public school districts to create a Gifted Scope & Sequence outlining the identification process and provision of gifted services. ARS 15-779.  Click here for AJUSD’s Gifted Scope & Sequence.

The Arizona Department of Education requires districts to screen and identify gifted students through specific assessments and opportunities. To better understand Gifted Identification, please review our Gifted Identification Overview.

Gifted services encompass a wide range of opportunities and enrichments available to gifted students, which can be provided by a general education teacher. Specific details regarding AJUSD’s gifted services can be found in our Overview of Gifted Services.

We value the input from and collaboration with our local community and encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns regarding gifted education.
