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.
