Our Mission

Who we are

The Center for the Development of the Gifted and Talented (CDGT) was established in 2010. We offer specialized and comprehensive programs for gifted learners and motivated talented students in Hong Kong.

Giftedness is not merely possessing a high level of measured intelligence. A broad definition of giftedness using multiple criteria is widely adopted across the world. Gifted children, in one or more domains, have exceptional achievements or potential. Many of them have demonstrated intense interest and strong commitment in specific areas of pursuit. They are often the minority while mainstream education setting struggles to help them realize their full potential. This is where gifted programs could complement by attending to their learning needs and social-emotional development, both are crucial to the all-around development of these learners.

CDGT aims to contribute to the whole person development of these students through provision of long-term and diversified programs and activities, as well as nurturing collaboration with parents, schools, and teachers.

Our Mission
