DSA AIG
The AIG programs in Durham Public Schools start with assessments as early as second grade and continue through elementary and middle school. Upon entering high school, students have access to a wide range of advanced placement courses and other specialized programs. Our goal is to provide all families with needed information about working with advanced students, identification procedures, advocacy, supporting the whole child, and much more.
If you’d like to refer your Middle School student for AIG servicing, please complete this form and our specialist, Ms. Destiny Clarke, will reach out to you soon!
DSA AIG Programming
The Office of Advanced Academics in Durham Public Schools believes that it is our collective responsibility to discover, nurture, and develop the potential of every student to be successful, both in school and in adult life. We further believe that we must provide a challenging education for all students. Services for academically and intellectually gifted (AIG) students are an integral part of this overall goal to achieve an excellent level of education for all learners.
For more information about Advanced Academics/AIG including identification, services, and resources please visit the Durham Public Schools Advanced Academics/AIG Website.
