Curriculum
„In the ways and to the extent students are similar, their curriculum should be similar.
In the ways and to the extent that they are different, their curriculum should be different”
Kanevsky, Lennie (1999). Tool Kit for Curriculum Differentiation“Curriculum studies suggest that gifted learners can enhance their learning of higher order
skills in content areas by being exposed to differentiated units of study, designed to elevate their learning level” What Works in Curriculum for the Gifted, Joyce Van Tassel-Baska, EdD., College of William and Mary, USA
We teach in Romanian and English an individualized curriculum which we create choosing as we suit best from the Cambridge Curriculum, the National Curriculum of England and Wales, College William & Marry, Mensa for kids lessons, with our core subjects of English/EAL (English as an Additional Language), Math and Science in our Primary division. In the first place, the English curriculum has a large, global vision and shows an incredible flexibility in bringing hands-on experiences for children, which enables us to develop the curriculum suitable for gifted children. The curriculum develops competencies of the child and more than that we have a specific way of customizing the curriculum through gifted education so that each student can excel in the learning process.

Our beliefs
We believe (just like Sir Ken Robinson states) that “every subject in a school deserves the right attention”. When we read „The Element”, we find out, for example, how important was for a kinesthetic learner like Gillian Lynne to learn by moving, so that she could grow into one of the most accomplished dancer of all times (choreographing The Phantom of the Opera, premiered in 1986). Basically, children need a diverse curriculum, and the importance in their life of one subject can be tremendous – but that cannot be probed on the spot, it needs time. So that is why we are here, to be sensitive to what makes them passionate, or interested about, and offer them an environment where they can really thrive, where they can pursue a subject, full hearted.
Our role is to facilitate children to find their area of passion. This is key for a gifted child. Finding children’s area of passion makes them avid learners, which will then direct them to other and other areas of passion, which could even stem one from another. It is in their area of passion where they construct in fact their abilities, their moral and ethics, their thinking and feeling skills. This transforms the young child into a passionate, with a solid set of values, task-commited, dedicated, vertical adult. Dr. Florian Colceag, international Expert in Gifted Education.
