Pillar One

Performing Arts

GIFTED was founded on the pillar of Performing Arts. We harness youth talent by training, providing skills, and goal planning. Our workshops introduce youth to the formula of music, music theory, music recording, and GarageBand software.

Research shows that children who sing, dance, act, or 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.

Pillar Two

Education

GIFTED's Education Pillar aims to provide students with the tools to be successful in school and life. We house enrichment classes and authentic learning experiences outside the traditional classroom.

Our education department promotes collaborative learning, enhanced critical thinking skills, improved social and organizational skills, and a firm educational foundation. We provide accountability services for at-risk students.

Pillar Three

Sports

Playing sports is therapeutic. The GIFTED Sports Program is organized for intramural play and one-on-one training. Sports build confidence, social interactions, respect, discipline, and dedication.

Our sports programming helps strengthen and stimulate the mind, increase fitness, and improve academics and attention spans. Youth develop self-discipline and personal goal-setting skills that serve them for life.
