Gifted Child Society

The Gifted Child Society is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1957 by parents of New Jersey to further the cause of gifted children. Its mission goals are:

  • Educational enrichment and support services specifically designed for gifted children.
  • Assistance to parents in raising gifted children to full and productive adulthood.
  • Professional training to encourage educators to meet the special needs of these youngsters.
  • A greater effort to win public recognition and acceptance of these special needs.

Since 1957, the Society has served over 60,000 children and their families. In 1975, the U.S. Department of Education named it a national demonstration model.
