The perceptions of the gifted students about the different environments in which they are educated are important for creating the right learning environments for them. Thus, the aim of this study is to map the perceptions of gifted students about school and SAC through metaphors. Phenomenological model, among qualitative research models, was used in the study. This research was carried out with 63 students who were determined as gifted and registered in the Science and Art Center in Siirt province during the spring semester of 2017-2018 academic year. In order to elicit students’ perceptions about concepts of “School” and “SAC”, a form with the statements “School is like………., because……….” and “ SAC is like………., because……….” was distributed to the students. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. Gifted students produced 30 different metaphors related to the concept of “school” and 31 different metaphors related to “SAC” concept.
