Recognizing the World’s Youngest Exceptional Minds
Our Story
We understand the journey of a child prodigy, because this organization was founded by one. With firsthand experience of the challenges and triumphs prodigies face, we are committed to recognizing, supporting, and celebrating extraordinary talent.
​
Founded in 2014 by Dr. Eugenie Carys de Silva, the youngest graduate in Harvard University’s history, this organization is built to uplift gifted children worldwide. Dr. de Silva, who holds multiple advanced degrees and has made groundbreaking contributions to intelligence, politics, and education, now works as a Fortune 500 cybersecurity consultant, tackling complex global challenges.
​
Too many prodigies remain unrecognized simply because they lack the right opportunities. The official child prodigies network was created to change that. By providing official recognition, resources, and a global community, we empower gifted minds to reach their full potential and shape the future.
Why We Exist
Extraordinary ability is often misunderstood, overlooked, or unsupported. Many child prodigies face isolation, limited access to opportunities, or recognition systems that fail to reflect the full spectrum of giftedness.
As the Official Child Prodigies Network of the International Association of Child Prodigies, we exist to ensure that exceptional talent is recognized with integrity and supported with care, regardless of background, geography, or circumstance.
Our Mission & Commitment
The Official Child Prodigies Network, created by the International Association of Child Prodigies, exists to identify, recognize, and support extraordinary children whose abilities significantly exceed typical developmental expectations. We serve verified child prodigies, their families, educators, and institutions worldwide who seek credible recognition and meaningful support for exceptional talent.
​
Through this network, we provide official recognition, structured membership pathways, and access to a global community dedicated to intellectual excellence. Our approach balances rigor with responsibility, ensuring each child is evaluated fairly and celebrated for genuine achievement rather than visibility or self-promotion.
​
We are deeply committed to protecting the integrity of prodigy recognition while empowering gifted youth to thrive. By upholding ethical standards, offering long-term support, and fostering a trusted international network, we ensure that exceptional minds are not only recognized, but guided, supported, and respected as they shape the future.
