The mission of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (the HKAGE) is to secure appropriate learning and development opportunities for gifted students, aged 10 to 18 years.

We would like to invite your school to take part in this nomination. Each school may nominate up to 15 gifted students (around 3-4 for each domain) of appropriate age* with outstanding performance or great potential in the following four domains. EACH NOMINEE CAN BE NOMINATED FOR ONE DOMAIN ONLY. Full members can apply for most courses without domain specific requirements. Schools are encouraged to nominate more junior students, who stand to gain the most from early identification and active participation in the HKAGE programmes and activities due to their relatively flexible timetables. To allow more potential gifted students to benefit from our programmes, we encourage schools to nominate new students. Existing full or preliminary members shall not be re-nominated.

*The nominated secondary students should be born from 1 September 2000 to 31 August 2008 and study at Hong Kong secondary schools in the school year 2017/18.
