Not sure of your vacation and travel plans? Not to worry: courses are designed to be asynchronous and flexible, so they fit even the most unpredictable family summer schedules! Our mini-courses are best suited for students currently completing grades 3, 4, 5 or 6 (entering grades 4-7 in the fall).

Gifted International Academy Flex Courses.
We had such a positive response from parents and students to our summer intensive courses that we decided to offer flex courses throughout the school year! HAGT’s Gifted International Academy 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 (during a break - intensive or throughout a school term - individually-paced). Courses are fun & challenging and are asynchronous & flexible. Students can complete a course in as few as 5 days (intensive) or as many as 3 months (individually-paced). 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: you choose the start and end dates! 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.
