Dallastown Area Middle School offers an extensive range of Gifted Support Services to its identified gifted students. Programming and planning are developed through a GIEP. Needs of gifted students are met by tailoring individual programming components such as compacting, pacing and independent learning contracts as well as whole-group programming components such as small seminar classes in a resource room and/or collaborative teaching in the regular classroom.

Our Seminar Program continues to evolve in response to the diverse expressions of talents within our students. Our search for appropriate educational experiences that nurture their possibilities drives our purpose and planning. Our goal is to promote high expectations, rigorous standards, and greater engagement with subject matter-- enabling each student to imagine and to realize his or her unique abilities.
