Virginia Association for the Gifted

VAG was founded in 1977 to support gifted education. We publish a quarterly newsletter; organize a statewide conference in odd numbered years; organize a statewide seminar in even numbered years; support research in gifted education; support specialized professional preparation for educators of the gifted; and recognize outstanding educators for their contributions to gifted learners. Membership is open to individuals who are interested in education of the gifted.

Our Vision

The Virginia Association of the Gifted is a statewide organization of parents, educators, and community leaders that advocates appropriate instruction for all gifted learners.

Our Mission

The Virginia Association for the Gifted supports research in gifted education and advocates specialized preparation for educators of the gifted.
