• Ensure that gifted education services are an integral part of the general education program.
• Provide differentiated instruction and curriculum to continuously improve student achievement and performance.
• Provide for the social and emotional needs of advanced-level learners.
• Recognize and develop diverse abilities and talents.
• Provide comprehensive professional development for its teachers to help them meet the unique needs of advanced-level students.

These goals are based on gifted program standards and content goals of the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), Maryland Learning Outcomes, and the Howard County Essential Curriculum.
