The purpose of the program is to make available challenging content matter, provide opportunities for the gifted learner to reach his/her potential, and to nurture self-esteem and confidence in special students. According to the Strengthening G&T Education Act passed into law by NJ Governor Murphy in January 2020, a "Gifted and talented student means a student who possesses or demonstrates a high level of ability in one or more content areas when compared to his chronological peers in the school district and who requires modifications of his educational program if he is to achieve in accordance with his capabilities.” Pemberton Township Schools Gifted and Talented Program serves grades Kindergarten through 12 and uses multiple measures to identify gifted students and consults the Gifted Programming Standards of the National Association for Gifted Children in developing programs for gifted and talented students.
