National Academy of Schoolchildren (NMA) - has been helping students gifted in science and music to reveal their potential and fully realize it for 19 years. The intellectual potential of Lithuania is strengthened at the Academy - talented children are given the opportunity to learn from the best teachers in Lithuania and other countries, to gain knowledge from professionals in various fields, educational figures, and scientists.
"Nowhere else have I met such a large percentage of people who are willing to give or share" (NMA graduate I. Kalpokas).
"Although I graduated from NMA already six years ago, I am grateful to the Academy every day! If it weren't for the Academy, the timid girl from the village would never have thought that the world was so big, interesting and wide. <...> In small rural schools, there are not many opportunities to practically test and improve in various fields, and it is precisely at the Academy that such an opportunity has arisen. <...> NMA raised me and laid a strong foundation for my future life." (NMA graduate N. Barauskaitė)
With your support we can:
• Reduce social exclusion in the field of education of gifted children and reduce regional educational disparities:
Gifted and talented children who do not live in big cities must also have access to high-quality educational services that meet their potential. The cost of the camps organized by NMA often becomes a financial obstacle for families raising gifted children. Thanks to the support, talented children will have the opportunity to develop regardless of their place of residence or the family's financial situation.
• Create unique educational content focused on the individual needs of gifted and talented children:
During the NMA sessions organized twice a year, students improve their mind, soul and body - they not only deepen their subject knowledge, but also overcome the challenges of personality development and participate in evening events led by prominent figures of the country - journalists, politicians, actors, travelers, scientists and others Complex education of children during the sessions creates the prerequisites and helps to form a creative, harmonious, responsible and open personality.

Together let's help Lithuanian talents rise!
