Welcome to District 287 Gifted and Talented Education
Intermediate District 287 Gifted Education Services through Northern Star Online is offering an advanced Math program
as an option for elementary and middle school talented math students
during the school year. The Gifted Math Program is a combination of
online learning and classroom seminars. Testing for students in
grades 4, 5, and 6 to qualify for the program will be held in the

students thrive in a competitive atmosphere, and enjoy the competition
process to sharpen skills and to "show what they know." These
