Open enrollment is available into all Bloomington gifted programs. We welcome qualified students from outside the Bloomington school district to be considered for any program level from grade 2 through 10. 区 c和idates (students currently attending a Bloomington Public School) do have preference over out of district c和idates.
The 有天赋的 和 Talented department will consider all BPS students for potential placement in gifted programs. Bloomington families do not need to do anything for their student(s) to be considered. Out-of-district families should nominate their child using the links below.
If a student's data does not hit our target, but there is evidence that advanced programming may be needed, anyone can submit a nomination form so that the GT Department can further consider that student for gifted programs.
Students who do not currently attend Bloomington Public 学校, but wish to be considered for a gifted program for next school year, must complete the nomination form 和 submit testing data 和 a teacher recommendation form. A link to the nomination forms 和 deadlines can be found below.
