We are committed to the identification, classification, stratification and fortification of the gifted children in Africa and the diaspora. An emphasis on creating opportunities for pupils to identify their gifts and talents and for abilities to flourish.
We support and develop policies and practices that encourage and respond to the diverse expressions of gifts and talents in children and youth. We help identify talented and gifted pupils and students, that is, those who out perform at the level expected for children in their age group. This may be in one or more areas of learning. We support and engage in research and development, staff development, advocacy, communication, and collaboration with other organizations and agencies who strive to improve the quality of education for all students.
Our Vision is to be the world’s foremost organization providing opportunities for children of African descent to identify, develop and utilize their gifted potentials.
