Stadi Gifted and Talented Enrichment Program (SGTEP) is an alternative learning initiative that looks at the interest area of the learner’s academic and intellectual abilities. The program has also been designed to address the psychosocial abilities of the learners in line with the Competency-based Curriculum (CBC). This is undertaken through early identification, mentorship, and placement. The program creates a stimulating learning environment that assists learners to overcome challenges that may place them “high – the risk of academic and intellectual failure” and unwanted behavior that makes them less productive in their communities. SGTEP targets children and youth within the age bracket of 5 – 24 years in and out of school.

We believe in early identification and intervention of gifted and talented young persons. Children and young people who are gifted and talented should be given an environment that helps them to recognize and realize their full potential while instilling in them skills and values that cultivate their gifts and talents.  We are committed to acknowledging and supporting the needs of Gifted and Talented children and youth in Kenya.

SGTEP inspires to give opportunities to all learners and young people who are gifted and talented in high-quality and rigorous intellectual enhancement activities, through the development of individual learner’s strengths, giftedness, talents, and interests. The effectiveness of our program encompasses the following six concepts: identification, screening, assessment, categorization, mentorship, and placement. Upon identification, gifted and talented learners and youth are offered special services to help them maximize their potential. This could be through academic pursuits or extracurricular activities and leadership. The SGTEP program has a wide range of activities that should be more beneficial to all learners who are gifted and talented.
