Gifted Education
Dinwiddie County Public Schools seeks to create and nurture a community of life-long learners by providing progressive educational opportunities and challenging experiences that are responsive to the unique needs and talents of all gifted students.
DCPS Gifted Program for General Intellectual Aptitude (GIA) strives to identify K-12 students who are eligible and provide instructional services to meet their needs. The Visual and Performing Arts Aptitude (VPA) Gifted Program seeks to identify students in grades 4-8 who are eligible and provide instructional services to meet their needs. We have developed a comprehensive plan for the education of gifted students that includes many components which is available in our Dinwiddie Gifted Plan 2023-2028 (PDF).
