What Makes Sudie Special

Sudie L. Williams Talented and Gifted Academy offers an innovative curriculum in a challenging academic environment.  We have a supportive community of teachers, staff, and parents specifically focused on growing and nurturing gifted students. Centered around high levels of student and teacher collaboration, advanced academics, and a positive school culture that fosters intellectual curiosity, our philosophy of "educating the whole child" guides us in preparing our students for life and leadership.

 

At Sudie TAG, we believe learning goes far beyond the classroom.   There is a wide variety of opportunities for students to explore their interests and grow as leaders—both during and after school through student activities, clubs and sports. 

 

Sudie TAG is also proud to have a large, enthusiastic and vibrant PTA (Parent, Teacher Association) that loves to support the school in so many ways.  

 

Additionally, Capstone Trips are unique opportunities for each grade to bond and learn together as a class culminating in the 8th grade trip to Washington D.C!
