The input component of the program included the profiles of the gifted students and the faculty in the general education and the arts the programs, goals, and objectives of the school the selection criteria for the gifted students and the student services provided by the school. For the process component, the variables examined were curriculum design, activities and program of the school implemented to achieve the goals, and the program's effectiveness.
