The Regional Enhanced Program is a Canadian gifted education program operated by the Peel District School Board.
The Peel District School Board defines gifted students as "children that have an unusually advanced degree of general intellectual ability that requires differentiated learning experiences of a depth and breadth beyond those normally provided in the regular school programme to satisfy the level of educational potential indicated."[1]
The curriculum of an Enhanced programme at the middle school level could include special tasks or projects designed to challenge gifted students. At the high school level, the course material is the same but the manner of teaching and/or the assignments given can vary based on the needs of the students.
Peel Regional Enhanced Centres are the five Peel Region high schools that provide the Enhanced programming and curriculum from Grade 9 to Grade 12.[2] The precise number and variety of Enhanced courses differs from school to school, but most schools offer the core (mandatory) courses as Enhanced.
Bussing and transportation for Enhanced students is provided by the school board.[2]
