Gifted International Academy
HAGT’s Gifted International Academy (GIA) offers schools the opportunity to provide their highly able students with enrichment at home or during the school day. Parents can sign up independently to ensure additional challenge and enrichment for their children outside of school. Courses are fun & challenging and are asynchronous & flexible. We offer personalized and expert instruction and feedback from U.S. certified instructors trained in gifted education.
Individually-paced courses run throughout the school year, allowing students to complete a course in as few as 5 days or as many as 3 months. Our courses are best suited for students currently beginning grades 4 through 7.*
*If your child is in a lower or higher grade, please contact us to ensure that the course is a good fit for their level and interest.
