Welcome to the Bellevue Gifted Website
Your resource for all things gifted in Bellevue...
This website is home to a number of gifted groups in Bellevue who are uniting to share information. We have current students and families throughout the District in different programs, as well as alumni, joining together. While there are a number of viewpoints, we all agree on having the right support available for each student. Gifted students have a range of needs, as do families of gifted children!
BGA is building community through outreach and education, and providing tools to advocate for gifted students in Bellevue. We welcome input on how to strengthen this site and are planning to add pages with more resources. Please join in the effort to create a strong gifted community and meet the needs of each child.
