Gifted and Talented

AXL Families and Staff,

​

This page is intended to provide resources for scholars who are already in Gifted and Talented services as well as provide information on how to refer your child for Gifted and Talented services.

Below are relevant links as well as AXL Academy’s Referral Form. Even if you are unsure of each answer on the survey, you can still refer your scholar, and we will reach out to you shortly to answer any questions about the Gifted and Talented process.

If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out to our Gifted and Talented Coordinator, Nick Assaf (nick.assaf@axlacademy.org) via email or ClassDojo.
