Operation Explore / SAGE / Gifted and AP
Baldwin County serves identified gifted students in every school through three program levels: Operation Explore, SAGE, and gifted or Advanced Placement coursework.
How services work: Gifted-endorsed teachers provide differentiated curriculum, intellectual-peer interaction, enrichment, independent learning, problem solving, and creative thinking. The high-school pathway includes gifted and AP classes.
How students are identified: Teachers, counselors, administrators, families, peers, students, and other knowledgeable individuals may nominate. School and county teams review nominations before testing under Georgia criteria; recent records are reviewed for transfers.
