Who Can Apply?
Mid-South Gifted Academy is a school for intellectually gifted children who are highly motivated to learn in a personalized and project-based environment.
We consider a variety of factors to determine a child’s fit for MSGA and his or her admission to the program. They include:
- IQ test results
- Academic achievement
- Characteristics of task commitment, creativity, and leadership
- Student work samples if available
- Behavior
Admission Process
Step 1: Schedule a tour by e-mailing info@midsouthgiftedacademy.com or calling (901) 850-6695.
Step 2: Submit an application and IQ test results here. If needed, we offer IQ testing for a fee of $220, or you can seek private testing.
Step 3: Schedule a time for your child to visit MSGA.
If you are interested in participating in our Extended Open House option, please be sure to select that option on the application. Extended Open House is an opportunity for your child to attend MSGA for one month for a fee of $1500 with no obligation to continue attendance past that month. If you decide to continue your child’s attendance at MSGA, the $1500 fee will be credited toward your annual tuition cost. The Extended Open House option allows you and your child to decide if MSGA is a good fit.
Once you have completed the above steps, your child will be considered for admission. During rolling admissions, families will be notified within two weeks of completing the process. Accepted applicants enroll or decline within two weeks of receipt of the offer. A $350 enrollment fee (credited toward tuition) is due at the time of enrollment.
