Why a Gifted Education School?
WHY LEONARDO GIFTED SCHOOL?
Leonardo Gifted School is designed to serve the needs of highly intelligent children, from preschool through the second grade (5 to 11 years old). We are an International British school, and our aim is to attract the most intelligent and talented youngsters all over Romania and from abroad. We understand the education and Counselling needs of gifted children and their parents.
What makes us completely different than any other school is that we are offer:
more than 24 differentiators, one of them being over an unprecedented 1000 hours of expertise and experience of direct work with gifted children. 🙂 Why 24 differentiators? No reason at all. We like the number 😉 We reached 24 in 2014 and now we are building on it every day. So we work to become better and closer to the needs of children with our know-how.

We are:
We are here so that every child who shows high intellectual capacity can experience the enriched, differentiated and accelerated learning environment they need. This helps the child to experience his potential, to be happy with his being, all in all leading to a happy, responsible and meaningful adult life
Each gifted child deserves the best education he/she can possibly receive.
What if your kid is gifted? (for a list of Gifted Personality Characteristics click here). And what if your child would grow to be a Michelangelo, or a Leonardo da Vinci? What if your kid had a brilliant imagination, could dream up potential flourishing worlds and be as advanced as a student at the university in his subject of choice? Would you deny your kid the education and the imagination potential just to keep your child conformed to what is “normal”?
