Completion of a gifted assessment helps assess whether a student would be identified as a gifted learner. If applying to a school, a cognitive assessment (intelligence testing) is often necessary as part of your child's application. 
 
Westmount Charter School: An intake session will be conducted to gain background information on the student, followed by psychometric testing (i.e., cognitive testing). After analyzing the data, the clinician will review the results. A report will be written if the student is identified as a gifted learner. If a student is not identified as a gifted learner, then the guardian can decide if they would like a written report during the feedback session.
 
CBE - Gate Program: An intake session will be conducted to gain background information on the student, followed by psychometric testing (i.e., cognitive and academic testing). After analyzing the data, the clinician will review the results with the guardian. A report will be written if the student is identified as a gifted learner.
 
**For Gifted Assessments (Westmount): A report will only be completed if a student is identified as a gifted learner (Full-Scale IQ = 130 +/- 5). If the student is not identified as gifted, the legal guardian can choose whether they would like a written report to be provided during the feedback session.**
