Meet Our CEO and Founder

Educator. Founder. Author. Speaker. Advocate.

Claire Jeune is an educator, entrepreneur, author, and gifted education advocate dedicated to helping exceptional children discover their potential and helping families understand how to nurture extraordinary minds.

Claire never planned to become a gifted education advocate; she became one because she was raising a child who needed more.

From the beginning, it was clear that her son Caleb experienced the world differently. His curiosity, ability to absorb information, and rapid academic development required looking beyond traditional expectations.

Claire became more than a mother; she became an advocate.

She studied gifted education, researched educational models, and learned how to navigate systems that were not designed for children who learn far beyond their age level.

With more than 15 years of experience as an educator, Claire understood the classroom. As a mother, she understood the responsibility of protecting a child's potential. That combination changed everything.

Her journey led to the creation of Atlanta Gifted Academy, an educational environment designed to challenge and support gifted learners.

Today, her mission continues through Prodigy Initiative—a vision for education that combines advanced academics, STEM, entrepreneurship, leadership, and personal development.

Claire believes every child deserves to be seen.
Not labeled.
Not limited.
Seen.

Her life's work is helping children discover who they are capable of becoming.

Her journey began with one question: What happens when a child's potential exceeds the limits of the system designed to educate them?

As the mother of three gifted children, Claire experienced firsthand the challenges families face when raising children whose abilities, curiosity, and learning pace do not fit traditional educational models.

Rather than accept limitations, she became an advocate, researcher, educator, and builder of new possibilities.

That journey led her to found Atlanta Gifted Academy and later develop the vision for Prodigy Initiative—an innovative educational model designed to cultivate scholars, innovators, entrepreneurs, and future leaders.

Today, Claire speaks, writes, and works to empower parents, educators, and communities to recognize giftedness, advocate for children, and create environments where extraordinary minds can thrive.

Because gifted children do not need to become smaller to fit the world. The world must create room for them to grow.
