Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v26 n3 p201-20 Spr 2003

Fifteen gifted students (grades 1-6) in a magnet school participated in phenomenological interviews. The students described the social milieu of the school as the backdrop for the meaning of the experience of attending the school. Four themes emerged across magnet school experiences, others, role, personal development, and time. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
