Have you got what it takes?High school graduates who can score a 1600 on the SAT but can’t take personal responsibility for their choices? Not on our watch.You’ve seen the horror stories: gifted and talented young people who lack the basic life skills to navigate adulthood independently

GT School is here to change that

Not only do we believe gifted & talented (GT) students are capable of performing at the highest level academically, we want to ensure they have the core skills to succeed in life

Skills like grit, determination, and time management are essential! We are developing GT students who are capable of leading, collaborating, and learning at the highest standards in every area of their lives.We are building a team of aggressively open-minded, rule-breaking, entrepreneurial leaders to define the life skills curriculum for US K-12 students

You will spend the day creating (doing not delegating) and debating what kids really need to know to succeed and be happy in life

You’ll then build programs and workshops for the kids where they can learn and demonstrate their mastery of each component skill

And you’ll do this at scale – ensuring 10,000 kids can learn at the same time and to the same high standards.This isn’t the role for traditional educators
