The Florence Unified School District is committed to special programming for students to help them develop their extraordinary abilities. This district recognizes that gifted students have unique interests, needs, and talents. Our mission is to provide optimal development of the gifted students’ intellectual, emotional, and social abilities and to honor the diversity among all students through a differentiated and challenging curriculum.

According to the State of Arizona, “gifted child means a child who is of lawful school age, who, due to superior intellect or advanced learning ability, or both, is not afforded an opportunity for otherwise attainable progress and development in regular classroom instruction and who needs special instruction, or special ancillary service, or both, to achieve at levels commensurate with his/her intellect and ability.”

To better meet the needs of your child, we will introduce a program that is more appropriately designed to prepare and deliver instructional experiences for children in our Talented And Gifted (TAG) program.
