Students must be enrolled in G&T Enrichment before being considered for PEG. PEG students also attend Enrichment classes and may choose to participate in an Arts class.

Students enrolled in PEG attend PEG for two full days each week and receive all of their language arts and math instruction with PEG teachers.
