What are some methods used to educate our gifted students in secondary education?

There are many forms of educational methods used for gifted students around the world. Here is what wikipedia says about some of the most notable.
 * 1) Advanced Placement - The **Advanced Placement** program offers college level courses at high schools across the United States and Canada. According to the //Good Schools Guide International//, it is "usually much more rigorous than the general course offerings."[1] The most taken exam in 2008 was AP United States History with 346,641 students, and the least taken was AP Italian Language and Culture with 1,930 students.
 * 2) Dual Enrollment - Students enrolled in secondary school (called high school in the United States) may be dual enrolled at a local institution of higher learning, such as a community college or university.
 * 3) International Baccaulareate [|(IB) Program]  - this organisation governs and administers three programmes of curricula for elementary (primary), middle, and high (or secondary) school levels which are, by design, international in nature, that is: able to be offered and acceptable for university entrance qualification, in countries throughout the world. Furthermore, curriculum content is intended to be free of the sort of national bias one might find in national curricula taught in individual countries."
