Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)
The Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program of the LAUSD Division of Instruction works to ensure that students who demonstrate outstanding ability or potential are helped to make the most of their unique talents and capabilities.
The GATE program provides differentiated instruction to students with exceptional intellectual ability, high achievement ability, specific academic ability, leadership, creativity, and visual and performing arts abilities. Instructional programs are planned and organized as an integrated experience throughout the regular school day, supplemented with other differentiated activities related to the core curriculum.
The GATE programs holds a series of Parent Professional Development meetings at local district offices to provide parents of GATE students with information about how gifted students learn and an overview of the differentiated instruction offered to gifted learners.

The GATE/SAS Parent Newsletter is issued by LAUSD four times per year Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.
You can download the latest issue or back issues from the GATE/SAS Parent Newsletter page.
Based on academic performance, through creative and critical thinking, a teacher or administrator at Palms can recommend your child as a candidate for the programs offered by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY). CTY offers online programs "designed to enrich academically advanced students" as well as summer residential programs.
If you would like more information, contact the Palms Magnet Office or call or email the CTY information Office at 410-735-6277 or ctyfo@jhu.edu.
