The Livingston Academic Gifted and Talented program recognizes the needs of students who possess and demonstrate significantly high levels of ability. The Academic GT program supports the identified population with a continuum of services. Differentiated instruction in classrooms allows students to work to their potential. Gifted education opens windows of opportunity for students to enhance their potential through collaboration, innovation, and problem solving. Students are challenged to engage in inquiry, take intellectual risks, exercise critical thinking, and reflect upon and develop their individual talents. 

In the Livingston Public Schools, we believe all students benefit from higher level thinking and inquiry. Differentiated instruction addresses the needs of all students within their classrooms. The Schoolwide Enrichment Program provides challenging opportunities that focus on STEAM/Innovation.                                                                                                                          
Our teachers and students are active in the Essex County Committee for Gifted and Talented Education and the NJ Association for Gifted Children. 

We follow the guidelines set forth by the Strengthening Gifted and Talented Education Act NJ SGTA and are proud to be represented on the state committee. For questions, comments, complaints or concerns, the procedure is as follows: Reach out to the school's GT Teacher first, then GT Supervisor and further as outlined in NJ SGTA/District Policy 9130.
