Who We Are & Why We Exist
Gifted & Talented is an educator-designed enrichment organization focused on expanding access to thoughtfully developed learning experiences for gifted and high-ability students.

Our programs emphasize curiosity-driven inquiry, small-group learning, and sustained intellectual engagement, informed by educators with experience supporting gifted learners. Planning is guided by local community and family engagement, ensuring programs remain accessible and grounded in the needs of the students we serve.
Rooted in Pinellas County and designed to complement existing educational environments, Gifted & Talented is committed to building enrichment opportunities that prioritize instructional quality, access, and long-term sustainability.
