Our Cornerstones
Education isn't "getting you ready" for life... education is life!
These cornerstones are the foundation of K5Gifted.com. It’s our mission to empower you with the knowledge, skills, insight, and understanding you need to work with your identified (or not yet identified) gifted elementary school child. But don’t let that academic lingo scare you off – we love to have fun, too!
Amidst life’s chaos, you’ve been tasked with (among myriad other things) becoming your gifted child’s unshakable fortress. It’s up to you to be not only their educational advocate, but also their emotional support system, too. In essence, you are your child’s truest champion.
We know that this is an enormous task, and it’s only natural to feel overwhelmed. No matter where you are in your journey, it’s difficult to know with any certainty which path to take next.
But take heart and rest assured that you don’t have to go it alone. Whether or not you have adequate assistance from your child’s school, you can breathe easy in knowing that we’re here to provide a 360 degree approach for nurturing those extraordinary gifts!
Believe it or not, the most successful adults aren’t necessarily the ones who scored the highest on IQ tests when they were young. Studies have shown that it’s actually the kids who develop the most resilience in childhood who are better equipped to identify, engage, and ultimately overcome life’s hardships.
Our comprehensive resources are designed to activate intellectual resiliency by integrating reading, writing, math, science, social studies, speaking, listening, and critical thinking. Pardon the brag, but learners of all types and abilities have achieved quantifiable growth using our comprehensive learning processes.
Together, we champion challenge, embrace uncertainty, cultivate curiosity, and celebrate cultural diversity!
The gifted child’s developing mind is not unlike the muscles of a professional athlete. With targeted exercise, the potential for growth is unparalleled.
Sounds too simple… easier said than done, right? We know all about the daunting social and emotional developmental issues that gifted children face – issues that can leave them feeling isolated and overwhelmed. You yourself are likely familiar with some of them: peer relationship struggles, anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and more.
We want to give you the tools to empower your child. Just as vitally, we also want to help empower you as a parent. Together, we’ll build your gifted child’s incredible mind and resilient spirit. It’s time to become an unstoppable force!
