About Gifted World

“Genius without education is like silver in the mine.”

-Benjamin Franklin

​

Around the world, there is little awareness of what giftedness is, and the needs of gifted children. Often it is assumed that they will be happy and do well ‘on their own’, as they have high abilities. Given the lack of awareness about giftedness and the unique challenges gifted students face, they and their families can feel confused, isolated and helpless. Even when there is awareness, parents may not know whom to turn to for support.

​

The Gifted World Community is here to change this. By combining the knowledge of various organizations specializing in gifted education, we aim to help parents, schools, and educators better understand and meet the needs of gifted children. Our goal is to empower them to reach their full potential and ensure their emotional well-being.

 

We do this by providing support through the talent development journey- from identifying talents to providing the necessary exposure, education and experience to these talented individuals. Here, you can also find a community of parents and educators who are navigating the same waters.

Read this post for the story of Saad Nasser, an exceptionally gifted student who became the co-founder and CTO of Ati Motors at the age of 14. Saad’s genius would have been like ‘silver in the mine’ (see the Ben Franklin quote above) if not for his parents, a sensitive teacher, a flexible school and committed mentors.

​

Many more hidden ‘rough diamonds’ like Saad need to be identified and polished- this is our mission.
