Our Purpose

The Kentucky Association for Gifted Education (KAGE), officially organized in 1979, is a non-profit volunteer group of parents, teachers, administrators, other educators, and all citizens interested in promoting appropriate educational opportunities for gifted and talented youth in Kentucky.

KAGE Foundation

Kentucky’s greatest resource isn’t coal… or horses… or tobacco… It’s our bright young people with gifted minds capable of solving longstanding problems in innovative ways.  Learn more about how you can support talented young people by providing financial assistance for a brighter Kentucky.

Go Local

Affiliate chapters are a source of information for parents, educators, students, and communities. The chapter provides parents a way to connect with other parents who have similar joys and concerns about raising and educating their gifted children. For educators, it's an opportunity to communicate with parents and build a base of support. For all, it's an opportunity to advocate for advanced and accelerated learners at the local, state, and national levels.
