Virginia local plans for gifted education

Virginia requires every school division to identify gifted students and provide instructional services through a locally approved comprehensive plan.

What this means for families: The statewide requirement is consistent, but the program name, areas of identification, eligibility evidence, grade-level services, and delivery model are determined locally.

Coverage: K–12 in every school division

Gifted Programs

A broad continuum combines talent development, school-based resource-cluster services, Old Donation School, and advanced high-school courses.

How services work: Talent development serves K–2; identified students use cluster services in grades 3–8 or may apply to Old Donation School, with independent study and advanced options in high school.

How students are identified: Multiple criteria are used for general intellectual and visual or performing arts identification; no single criterion guarantees or denies eligibility.

Grades: K–12
