Nomination and Student Membership


How to become a student member of the HKAGE?

The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE) endeavours to secure appropriate learning and development opportunities for gifted students aged 10 to 18 in Hong Kong.

HKAGE admits student members of appropriate ages mainly through the “School Nomination” and “Self Nomination” schemes every school year. Gifted students interested in being members of HKAGE are required to pass “Stage 1: HKAGE Online Learning Programmes for Screening” before they can submit their nomination profiles in “Stage 2: Submit Nomination Profiles” for further screening.

Besides, HKAGE invites students of appropriate ages with outstanding performance at “Nurturing the Gifted Scheme” and “Web-based Learning Courses for Gifted/More Able Students (jointly administered by the EDB and the HKAGE)” to join the screening for HKAGE student membership.
