The Gifted and Talented Program at MSAD 75 recognizes its obligation in providing an array of quality instructional services to identified, case-managed students. However, we also recognize that all students benefit from a learning environment in which higher-order thinking skills and creative approaches to understanding are valued. Many of our programs are technology-based to ensure a high level of interactive interest and easy access. We look forward to enriching your child's education.
