La Joya Independent School District

The La Joya Independent School District serves gifted and talented students who are currently identified in grades K-12. One way in which the district attempts to include as many students as possible in all learning processes is to constantly increase our capacity to accommodate the needs of all learners.  All GT students receive lessons by teachers skilled in differentiating and individualize instruction to the gifted learner. La Joya ISD provides opportunities for all students to achieve at high levels; however, we recognize the need to accelerate instruction for those students whose performance indicates the need for a differentiated curriculum as determined by their individual need. Therefore, the emphasis is on enriched, extension, acceleration, and exceptional learning activities in the four core academic areas of Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies.  Learning activities are designed to foster creative and critical thinking as well as independent study.
