We recognize that gifted children:

• Come from all racial, ethnic, and cultural populations, as well as all economic strata.
• Require sufficient access to appropriate learning opportunities to realize their potential.
• Need support and guidance to develop socially and emotionally as well as in their areas of talent.

Children who are gifted are unique and have specialized learning needs. Nasri Academy educators understand these needs and focus on the intellectual, academic, social and emotional needs of the whole child. Our mission is to provide an engaging, stimulating and nurturing environment to  develop passionate, engaged learners that value lifelong learning. Students engage in opportunities to tackle real world, hands-on projects, using problem solving, critical and creative thinking while using multiple and diverse perspectives.

​Nasri Academy’s faculty and staff are trained to work with gifted children and the various abilities and diversity within the students. Students are able to develop and strengthen their resiliency and self-esteem through an environment purposefully designed to be safe while gaining a deep understanding of topics.
