About GEAC
What is GEAC?
Gifted Education Advisory Council (GEAC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization started in 1989 to serve the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) Quest program. GEAC works in coordination with the LWSD and the Quest program similarly to how a PTSA serves your local neighborhood school. All GEAC members are parents and volunteers; our operating budget is funded 100% by direct donations/corporate matching. Your support serves the special needs of highly capable students/families, assists Quest teachers, and provides supplementary and enrichment materials for Quest classrooms.
What do we do?
- Communicate information related to highly capable issues and opportunities between LWSD, Quest office, schools, teachers, and parents.
- Provide financial support directly to Quest classrooms.
- Offer classes for parents including “Guiding your Gifted Child/ Adolescent” and “Parenting your Child with ADD/ADHD”.
- Sponsor or co-sponsor information sessions for students and parents.
- Advocate for programs and funding for highly capable/accelerated learning programs at state and local levels.
