The purpose of this research is to explore the motivation and performance of service learning for gifted students at different educational stages. The findings show that all stages of gifted students volunteer to participate in service-learning, but high school students raise more concerns about rural areas, social services and attention to social links than primary school students. All stages of gifted students agree that the experiences of service learning help them develop empathy for others and promote interpersonal harmony, but as compared with the other two groups, the engagement of high school students in service learning also help them explore life goals, learn the importance of civic participation, and improve problem solving skills and communication skills.
