The mission of EPCGT is "to promote awareness of the unique needs of gifted children and to support educational and social opportunities to meet those needs."
Welcome! We're glad you're here!
You've reached the site of the Eden Prairie chapter of the Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented. We are parents who actively seek ways to help gifted children thrive, to promote educational rigor, and to support families, teachers and community. We are open to all - identified as gifted or not, Eden Prairie schools or not - and we would be happy to have you join us!
Our board meetings are generally held the first or second Friday of each month and begin at 9:30 a.m. with a topic of discussion that lasts approximately 60 minutes before we start the business meeting. Please join us! See Meetings for more details.

Everyone (including children) are welcome; you are free to come and leave
