Abstract

This paper reports of a cross-cultural study investigating the advantages and disadvantages of specialized high schools in the USA and in Austria from the perspective of teachers, students, and parents representatives. Semi-structured interviews with teachers, students and parents, questionnaires, observations and document review were used. This article summarizes some characteristics, pros and cons, and recommendations related to specialized schools. The purpose is to understand how to best meet the educational needs of gifted students. Specifically, the following aspects will be looked at: philosophy, schools goals and programming, school climate, teacher characteristics, and admission procedure. Political guidelines, local laws and legal provisions concerning the education of gifted children will be presented as well in order to develop a better understanding of the legal situation.
