All sorts of young people, from all sorts of places.​GIFTers are curious, individual, thoughtful, bustling, brave, bright, still, adventurous, complicated, quirky and quite often to be found sitting on the stairs reading a book.​GIFTers play made up card games and ukuleles and football and flutes and Dungeons & Dragons. They code and sing and engineer and build and scribble whole new worlds into notebooks. Sometimes they nap.

No. You are not your grades. If your teacher, parent, or other carer has suggested Education Without to you, the chances are that you’ll fit in just fine. If you have read the course material and feel excited about stretching your brain with some new ideas , then Education Without is for you.

The lecturers don’t lecture, but we call them that because, although many of them are also school teachers, they use their expertise very differently on Education Without. They all have lots of experience of working with gifted students - some of them were even GIFTers themselves. As you would expect, they are all DBS checked.
