Gifted and accelerated programs
SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning)
Select Entry Accelerated Learning programs run a separate class of academically able students, usually from Year 7, who move through the curriculum faster or in more depth. Entry is by the school's own test and selection, normally sat in Year 6 after the Year 7 placement offer. Schools listed here are members of The Academy of Accredited SEAL Schools, and some give their program a different name.
