Genie Academy Student Accepted into East Brunswick's Talented & Gifted Program

Tyler C. has been selected for the Grade 4 TAG Program at East Brunswick! The TAG program is designed solely for students who demonstrate outstanding ability in Language Arts and Mathematics. The program is a component of the East Brunswick Talented and Gifted Education Program, which provides differentiated instruction for students who exceed the East Brunswick Public School District's expectations.

Acceptance into this program is highly selective. According to TAG supervisor, Dr. Daniel Moran, "the district identifies a small number of fourth and fifth grade students as 'gifted." These students score a 5 on the NJSLA and math assessments and a 90 on the end-of-year math assessment; they also finish the year at a higher reading level than their end-of-year benchmarks." 

With such high standards, it's no wonder a spot in this program is highly coveted by students and parents alike. But it was no surprise to Genie Academy in East Brunswick when he was accepted. According to one of his teachers, Ms. Vivian, "During his time at Genie Academy, Tyler was always a dedicated learner. It came as no surprise when he told me that he got into the Gifted & Talented program at his school.... because he was always up for a challenge in my classes... With this attitude and willingness to learn, there is no doubt that he will continue to do great things, both inside and outside of school."

As part of this awesome accelerated program, Tyler C will receive differentiated instruction and "participate in independent research on self-selected topics" during the academic year. How cool is that?

Congratulations, Tyler C! You've made your teachers and friends at Genie Academy extremely proud. We can't wait to see what amazing things you do next. Interested in tutoring in East Brunswick, NJ? Schedule a free assessment today!
