Welcome!
The Gifted and Talented Education program at Bessie E. Owens Primary and Intermediate Schools offers students the opportunity to participate in challenging educational activities. Following the State Standards, G.A.T.E. incorporates critical thinking skills, discovery learning, and enrichment to fully involve students in their education. The two components that make up the G.A.T.E. program are Full-Time education and One-Day enrichment education. Students in the full time program attend Owens daily, receiving advanced instruction in the core curriculum. Students in the One-Day program are bused in from their home schools one day per week to take part in enrichment activities in Science, Computer Technology, Language Arts, Spanish, and Art.
