Format, schedule, entry points, and fees—everything you need to know.
Expect 2–3 hours per week: readings, short investigations, problem sets. Less time than most competitive activities. Enough to stretch the mind, never to burn it out.
Session recordings available for 3 days when students must miss class. However, live participation is strongly encouraged—the discussion and peer interaction are central to learning.
Students should join sessions from a laptop or computer, not a phone or tablet. A stable internet connection and a quiet space for focused participation are essential.
30 weeks across the academic year, organised into six 5-week modules.
There are six entry points across the year—at the start of each module. If you find us mid-year, you haven't missed the opportunity. We can place your child into a suitable cohort at the next entry point.
Next Entry Date: 3 July 2026
We run two parallel programmes: one for Grades 5–6 and one for Grades 7–8. Each programme is tailored to the developmental level and academic readiness of its cohort, with appropriately calibrated content, pacing, and challenge.
New students begin with a 5-week trial (one full module, both subjects included). This lets families experience Gifted Lab before committing to the full year.
During the trial, students experience both subjects before deciding which to continue with.
Gifted Lab is designed as a 2–3 year pathway, not a one-off course.
Many students join in Grade 5, 6, 7, or 8 and continue with the same cohort over multiple years. As the cohort progresses, we design new modules and challenges at their level—instead of making them repeat the same content.
Over time, students build a portfolio of explanations, investigations, and projects that shows what they can really do—not just the marks they scored. They develop roughly Grade 10+ breadth of ideas with much greater depth, and the habits of rigorous, joyful, self-directed learning.

Past electives include: Astrophysics, Robotics Foundations, GenAI Literacy, Narrative Thinking, Sequences & Series.
We believe all gifted students deserve proper enrichment, regardless of financial circumstances. If cost is a barrier for your family, please reach out.

Tuition adds more of the same. Coaching optimises for exam performance—topics covered in test sequence, understanding secondary to pattern recognition.
Gifted Lab optimises for thinking. We cover fewer topics but go deeper. We care about whether students can explain why, not just solve how. Students who build understanding here find that exam preparation later becomes format familiarity, not conceptual catch-up.
Session recordings are available for 3 days. However, live participation is strongly encouraged—discussion and peer interaction are central to learning. If your child will miss multiple sessions, let us know and we'll help them catch up.
Gifted Lab complements school learning. The concepts we cover appear in standard curricula, but we approach them with greater depth. Students typically find that school science and maths become easier after Gifted Lab because they actually understand the underlying ideas.
ASSET Talent Search is our primary selection pathway, but not the only one. If your child shows clear signs of advanced ability—through other assessments, school performance, or demonstrated curiosity—we're happy to discuss their fit. Contact us.
First, students at this age often haven't encountered inspired teaching in their "disliked" subject. Science taught at a high level dissolves these boundaries. The physics of scaling is inseparable from why elephants can't jump. The chemistry of ATP is inseparable from how muscles generate force.
Second, competencies transfer. The habits of mind developed in any scientific context—arguing from evidence, constructing models, questioning assumptions—apply everywhere.
We hear this often. When we actually work with these students, we find their fundamentals are less solid than expected. They can solve problems but struggle to explain why. They know formulas but can't derive them. They've memorised content but can't transfer it to unfamiliar contexts.
The pace may feel slower than coaching—but as students tell us, they "cover more" because they actually understand. Students who genuinely need faster progression can access high-ceiling extensions in every module. But most discover that going deeper is more demanding than going faster.
During the 1-month trial, students can explore both subjects and then decide which to continue with. If the programme isn't the right fit, the booking fee is fully refundable within the first month.
After the trial, if circumstances change, contact us to discuss options.
