In order to meet the needs of gifted students, a differentiated program, called the Gifted & Talented, is in effect.  Students who participate in this program are provided with a wide spectrum of educationally challenging units. 

The Gifted & Talented curriculum addresses a wide range of abilities but does not replace the general instructional program and is designed to spark interest in the sciences and engineering for the self-reliant, independent learners of Hillside.  In Gifted & Talented, students are encouraged to explore new vistas of learning.
