For the 2023-2024 school year, Artistically Gifted & Talented After School Clubs have been assigned to various areas throughout Aiken County School District. These clubs will serve our artistically gifted students during the school year and not just in the summer. Priority will go to students who have been identified "artistically gifted" by the acGateway Program. Students that have yet to be identified may go onto a waiting list.

Clubs will be semester-long and meet from the weeks of September 4th-December 8th (no classes during Fall Break) & January 8th-March 28th, equaling out to 12 weeks per semester. The clubs will operate one day a week for 1.5 hours at various locations throughout the District. Only students that attend a school in the Aiken County School District may attend.

Students from neighboring schools may attend programs in any designated area.

If interested, please complete the survey below.
