Gifted Schools is an initiative powered by Born to Soar to enable parents the freedom to search for schools offering to meet the needs of a gifted child. There is no cost to parents to use this service.
Gifted Schools was born from the overwhelming number of requests from parents desperately seeking a school that would address the needs of their gifted child. The directors themselves have experienced this enormous responsibility; locating a school that would truly meet their child’s emotional and cognitive needs. The void of transparent information on schools that support learning for gifted children continues to frustrate parents; thus Gifted Schools was born.
Our mission is to enable you, the parent, to shortlist schools in the region of your desired location. You are able to choose a range of criteria, not just location, on which to base your search. It is hoped that by using Gifted Schools you will visit fewer schools in your search for a suitable learning environment for your individual child. It is important to acknowledge that one school may suit the needs of one child but not another.
