Philosophy
The teachers of the Walton Gifted Department are the gifted certified teachers teaching honors or advanced placement classes and the teachers with 10 hours in gifted characteristics teaching the advanced placement classes.

These teachers encourage gifted students to effectively utilize their capacity to think, reason, comprehend, and know about a subject.  They also stress sensitivity, flexibility, openness, the ability to set aside established conventions when appropriate, and evolve novel solutions.

The strength of the need to do serious work as shown by persistent effort is also important.

(adapted from Governor's School of North Carolina)
