Designed to "raise the bar," the gifted program is made to appropriately challenge the student's academic approach in thought, work, and product. It is the goal of the program to offer learning opportunities for students, to develop and expand interests and knowledge bases, and to provide time to interact with other gifted children.

The gifted program at Boyce strives to consistently challenge students to apply higher-level thinking skills not only in the gifted classroom, but in the academic classroom and approach to the world. The Gifted pull-out program meets for a minimum of 75 minutes during the six-day rotation. The Options portion of the program meets in the morning, Pride Time and/or lunch pull-out, depending on the particular option.
