GOD S INTELLIGENT FORTIFIED TALENTED AND EDUCATED DREAMERS

PARTNER WITH US… as we make life-changing deposits of knowledge, self-awareness and relevant skills to help build self-esteem and increase productivity in our YOUTH through the Pillars of Performing Arts, Education and Sports.

Performing Arts
GIFTED was founded on the pillar of Performing Arts. We harness youth's talent by training, providing skills and goal planning through voice & instrumental lessons, dance, song writing and musical producing and arranging.

Research shows that children who SING/DANCE/ACT/PLAY AN INSTRUMENT are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement compared with non-performing youth -and they tend to have enhanced cognitive, motor and social development.

Education
Through our Education Pillar, GIFTED aims to provide students with the tools to be successful in school and life.

Our education department provides workshops that promote collaborative learning, enhance critical thinking skills, improve social and organizational skills, all while providing a firm educational foundation.

GIFTED houses enrichment classes and authentic learning experiences outside the traditional classroom. We provide accountability services for at risk students including tutoring, homework help and mentorship.

Our end goal in the educational department is to provide college, career, scholarships and life readiness skills. We do this through standardized test prep, college visits and readiness skills.
GIFTED recognizes Education is the first step for youth to gain knowledge, critical thinking, empowerment and skills they need to make this world a better place.

Sports
Playing Sports is therapeutic. Through our final pillar, GIFTED Sports Program is organized for intramural play and one - on - one training.
