Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented

Our mission is to advocate for the diverse population of gifted and talented students in the state of Arizona. Our vision is to support the continuous improvement of educational opportunities for gifted and talented students commensurate with their needs and abilities.

The Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented (AAGT) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization of parents, educators, and community members working together to advocate for education that meets the academic prerequisites of gifted children and to better meet the unique needs of our gifted and talented students in Arizona. AAGT is a state affiliate of the National Association of Gifted Children (NAGC).

AAGT is a resource for the information and guidance necessary for parents, teachers, administrators, counselors, community stakeholders and legislators to develop and support gifted education in our state. All of us share in the challenge to meet the needs of Arizona's gifted children with limited funds for their education and development.

AAGT provides an annual conference for parents, educators and community members as well as an annual Parent Institute. In addition, AAGT offers scholarships for teachers of the gifted and scholarships for educational opportunities for gifted students. AAGT provides continuous support to local affiliate chapters. Information on these opportunities can be found on the website.
