What do the terms high potential and gifted describe?

High potential and gifted students typically develop talent and achieve mastery with greater ease and speed than their same age peers.

All students have potential to learn, which is represented by the whole circle. 

High potential students are those whose potential exceeds that of students of the same age. They may benefit from an enriched and/or extended curriculum and learning opportunities beyond the typical level of their age peers. 

Gifted students are those whose potential significantly exceeds that of students of the same age. They typically develop talent and achieve mastery much faster than their age peers. 

Highly gifted students are those whose potential vastly exceeds that of their age peers. Highly gifted students may require specific and significant curriculum adjustments to meet their learning and wellbeing needs.
