The HKAGE operates independently of Government bureaux to provide flexibility in management and operations. Our mission is to ensure suitable learning and development opportunities for gifted students aged 10 to 18 years. We aim to help them realise their potential in various learning domains including academic areas such as STEAM, humanities and languages, as well as non-academic areas like leadership, creativity and interpersonal skills, and their commitment to the local community.
