Our
Values.
Our philosophy at Gifted and Talented Education is based on“3G”: Gift + Grit + Growth
GIFT
At GATE, we recognize and value the gift in each child. We harness the gift from one domain to multiple domains, from academic (big data analysis) to life skills (leadership roles). Gifted Education is a specialized and effective education catered to high ability learners. Many developed countries have established various gifted education programs for more than half a century including Israel, the USA, Singapore, Australia and Canada. Celebrity examples include Mark Zuckerberg, Lady Gaga, Sergey Brin and Adam Reiss who have gone through the gifted programs and made tremendous success in their careers.
GRIT
Grit is determination, resilience, tenacity, passion, and perseverance towards a long term goal. We believe the amount of “grit” a child has is the most critical factor to determine his/her long term achievements. At GATE, we create and reinforce a learning culture of grit from curriculum design, teaching and parenting style and peer motivation (as each person’s grit enhances the grit in others).
GROWTH Mindset
We adopt a growth mindset strategy as intelligence can be further developed. Researches have shown that individual IQ can be improved by more than 20% over the years with the right coaching. We nurture our children by improving their ability and mindset instead of worrying how smart they are. They work hard to learn more and grow smarter. A growth mindset thrives on challenges.
