In keeping with our philosophy of providing programs to meet the needs of all students, the district offers a number of programs for the gifted. The Advanced Academic Program (AAP), which is available in all schools for students in grades 3-12, strengthens and broadens the academic and creative talents of identified students. To develop the exceptional abilities of these students, a curriculum which combines acceleration and enrichment is used. Because AAP is offered in a variety of subject areas, students may participate in one, several or all subjects for which they qualify. The high schools also offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses, coordinated by the College Entrance Examination Board. MEGSSS (Mathematics Education for Gifted Secondary School Students) is designed for students in grades 6-12 who are highly gifted in mathematical and verbal reasoning. This program is the only one of its kind in South Carolina and one of only five in the United States. In addition, the district has High School Scholars and Middle School Scholars programs, which consist of agreements between students and the district to take designated, advanced courses and to participate in extracurricular activities, leading to a special diploma.
