Our Gifted and Talented Programme is a specialised educational track designed to meet the needs of students with exceptional intellectual potential.

Students benefit from innovative tools and strategies that foster their talents and support holistic development.
We conduct early and rigorous screening for all students using standardised detection tests. This process ensures we identify gifted learners precisely and can intervene immediately to maximise their growth from the outset.
Once a student is identified as gifted and talented, we administer a preferences assessment and hold individual interviews. Based on these insights, we design a bespoke learning plan that may include:
Each term, gifted and talented students collaborate with Talentum on an innovative, cross-disciplinary project. These projects encourage creativity, critical thinking and teamwork by exploring diverse fields of knowledge in a practical, hands-on manner.
