GIFTED AND ADVANCED
Tennessee Connections Academy keeps gifted and advanced learners engaged so they can reach their full potential.

EMPOWERING STUDENTS
We Adapt Our Program to the Student, Not the Other Way Around
At Tennessee Connections Academy, we believe there are just as many ways to teach as there are to learn. That's why we give all our students the ability to make meaningful choices around curriculum, empowering them to take the courses that work best for them.
Our courses were built to inspire a lifelong love for learning and help students reach their highest potential, including gifted education in Tennessee. Along with core classes and a wide variety of electives, Connections Academy® offers honors, special education, Advanced Placement®, and gifted and talented courses.
GIFTED AND ADVANCED PROGRAMS
Advance Your Student’s Learning
We believe in trusting and supporting students to take ownership of their own educational journey. This highly personalized approach to learning especially helps all of our studewnts thrive. Educators and families work together to develop an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for advanced students, allowing them to work above grade level and create their own definition of success.
At Tennessee Connections Academy, gifted students may enroll either in advanced courses for all subjects offered or only in their areas of strength and interest. We also offer elementary and middle school gifted and talented programs for “twice exceptional” students, who are gifted but have additional special education needs.
