About

Our Philosophy

We believe in putting students into situations where they have to use their ‘creativity’ to solve problems and project a fresh hypothesis into the world of research and new discoveries.

The programmes we offer Junior Genius and Uni Genius are intended to be challenging and the students are expected to maintain a high standard of self-discipline, behaviour and academic performance. We expect students to strive for excellence in themselves and be of a world class standard in preparation for entry into the world’s top universities.

We encourage competition and adopt an Apprentice and Dragon’s Den style of working.

We do not believe in prizes for all, whilst one can learn from the experience of the journey ultimately there is often only one winner.

By bringing together academically talented students from some of the most challenging social circumstances, our programmes are able to offer a unique educational experience, one geared both to the students’ high abilities and to their need for peers who share their academic abilities and their love of learning.

This is a nurturing programme where students have a sense that they are on a journey from 11 to 18. This rites of passage programme is based on intellectual and social challenges. We have a boys and girls programme where students support each other and learn that poverty, race and gender is not a barrier to academic success. Students receive training to develop communication, presentation and networking skills and are encouraged to work in teams and share skill sets.
