Gifted class is let all the students who got a high scores on their C-CAT test into one class (Gifted class) then the teacher suppose will teach the students faster then other class and suppose let those kids do more homework or more project, the reason is those kids suppose learn faster then others so when they are in Gifted Class then they won't waste their time to wait for someone who need more time to understand what the teacher is teaching. But because there is only one gifted class in one area, so even the kid is meet the gifted profile but may be there is no seat for that kid, so they need to stay in their home school, when this happened, their home school suppose keep their eye on that kid to teach this kid learn faster then the other kids in the same class, just like more homework or more projects, so the kid can apply the gifted class on the next year (if no seat in this year). This is the most what I know about the gifted class, I am not sure I make any mistake or not. I hope it can help you to know more about gifted program.
