Advanced Learning and Gifted Education
The Office of Advanced Learning & Gifted Education (OALGE) brings together various advanced education programs at the NC Department of Public Instruction to ensure collaboration and partnership. Supporting the advanced learning needs of students across North Carolina is critical as DPI and NC educators work to ensure that all students are career and college ready.
WEBSITE RESOURCES UPDATE
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing an accessible online experience, the Office of Advanced Learning and Gifted Education is updating website content to comply with federal Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards. These updates help ensure that our digital services are accessible and usable for all users. During this process, some documents and materials on the website may be removed or unavailable while they are reviewed and remediated to meet accessibility requirements. Some documents will be transitioned to the OALGE Coordinators’ Corner. We ask for your patience and support as we continue working to enhance accessibility across our website.
