Salt Lake City School District's Extended Learning Program (ELP)

Grade Level Goals and Objectives

ELP curriculum extends from the Utah State Core Curriculum, with added depth, complexity, abstraction, and novelty. ELP also offers opportunities for academic peer association, appropriate pacing, and authentic products.

Salt Lake City School District’s Extended Learning Program (ELP) provides specialized educational services for identified gifted and high ability elementary school students.  Applications for magnet ELP testing will be available on the ELP website.
