GT Online Courses
Jeffco Public Schools Gifted and Talented (GT) offers online GT courses through Jeffco Virtual Academy (JVA) for middle school students.
Full-year core courses are available for sixth- through eighth-grade courses in math, science, language arts and social studies. All courses are developed and taught by Jeffco GT-certified teachers and address the unique needs of gifted learners. Students may apply for any number of the four core classes.
These GT courses enrich the standard curriculum, move at a faster pace and ask students to think deeply and creatively. The classes address GT students’ academic and social-emotional needs and also provide virtual interaction with other GT students across the district.
Courses are taken in place of in-person courses in neighborhood schools or at home to enrich the curriculum of students in particular areas of strength. There is no face-to-face component to these courses.
