Duneland School Corporation High Ability Program


The Duneland School Corporation is committed to identifying K-12th grade students of high ability and providing them with educational opportunities to ensure that these students reach their highest level of academic achievement in core curricular and enrichment content.

High Ability Program Goals:

  • Implement an unbiased identification process based upon specific criteria using reliable and valid qualitative and quantitative testing measures.
  • Prepare our students identified as high ability to become independent, critical thinking, problem-solving learners who are excited about learning.
  • Create a variety of program options that offer advanced content and differentiated instruction specifically designed to help students identified as high ability achieve maximum student growth.
  • Provide professional development for educators so they can learn to recognize the characteristics of giftedness and incorporate techniques that address the unique needs of the high ability student.
