"...as much as the world has benefited from the contributions of gifted individuals, it is disturbing...to realize that the population least likely to learn and achieve its potential is the highly gifted." - Joseph Cardillo, Gifted Children: Nurturing Genius (Part One)

The West Virginia Association for Gifted/Talented (WVAG/T) is a nonprofit organization of parents and educators who recognize the need to foster the growth and development of gifted and talented individuals in our state. Our goal is to ensure that every child in West Virginia has an opportunity to be educated fully and commensurate with his/her ability.

The purpose of the association is to support students with exceptional intellectual abilities and potential for achievement by providing information and resources for parents and teachers in the field of gifted education.

* Promote an appropriate education of gifted and talented students
