9th-10th grade (we are not accepting applications for 11th and 12th grade)

All applicants are required to have either an ALP (Advanced Learning Plan) or IQ test for admissions. Waitlisted applicants do not need to re-submit these documents, as they have already previously applied and qualified.

• If your student has an ALP, you can contact your student’s current school for the ALP.  You will be required to upload the ALP to the application.

What is an ALP?  The Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) is an individualized plan for identified gifted students. The ALP is a record of programming options and academic or talent goals that support the Student’s strength area(s) and affective or behavioral needs. Through collaboration of the students, parents and school personnel, the ALP guides educational planning.

• If your student does not have an ALP, they will be required to obtain an IQ test.  This may be done prior to November 1st.  Please click here for a list of testers and information on the tests that are accepted by Stargate.  You are not required to use any of the testers listed on our website.  You may use any licensed psychologist of your choice.
