Classes are taught by teachers certified in Gifted Education and have a reduced class size in order to individualize each student’s educational program.
The Talented Arts Program is an educational program for students identified as talented in visual arts, music or theatre in grades K – 12 and enrolled in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System.
