Year-round advanced learning for bright students who are ready for more.

A rigorous online Science and Mathematics programme for curious students in Grades 5–8. Expert mentors. Deep understanding. The challenge bright minds deserve. We start from first principles, then push ideas to their limits - so learning feels clearer and more advanced.

"I think I have learnt a lot more in these past five sessions compared to what I could've learnt in half a school year. Learning is one thing and understanding is different... Here I have understood stuff a lot better."
– Grade 8 student, Vasudev C Wadhwa Arya Vidya Mandir, Mumbai

For students in roughly the top 10% of their class, or the top 10% on the Ei-ASSET. No test score required. Next entry: 11 December 2026

Since 2016, GenWise has worked with advanced learners from more than 800 schools across India and overseas. Our work began with Duke University's Talent Identification Program in India and with Educational Initiatives, the makers of ASSET.

Students have joined Gifted Lab from schools including:

Shiv Nadar Schools
GEMS Modern Academy, Dubai
Sri Kumarans, Bengaluru
Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai
Fountainhead School, Surat
Sanskriti The Gurukul, Guwahati
"I can easily top my class in school. But here, everyone is very intelligent. I felt challenged and that made me interested in the course."
– Student, GEMS Modern Academy, Dubai
"In school, they write points on the board and ask us to copy notes. Here, they ask why this happens - if I change this, how does that change the outcome."
– Adithya, Grade 8, Sri Kumarans, Bengaluru
"I've seen him getting disconnected with other classes after the class is over, but here it was very much engaging even after the class."
– Parent of a Grade 7 student, GEMS Modern Academy, Dubai
"Not coaching, not increasing your marks from 90 to 100% - that was never the goal. The goal was to make sure the child understands, and enjoys the real deep understanding."
– Parent of a Grade 8 student, Sri Kumarans, Bengaluru

What is Gifted Lab?

Gifted Lab is GenWise's year-round programme for advanced learners. Most smart students want to go faster. Gifted Lab goes deeper. We start with simple foundations, then extend concepts to advanced cases - so students don't just know, they can explain and apply.

The programme in a nutshell:

  • Integrated Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Mathematics beyond the school syllabus - starting from fundamentals and extending to advanced applications and reasoning.
  • 42 weeks across the academic year: 6 modules + 12 problem-solving weeks. Each module is five weeks of classes; the problem-solving weeks fall between modules - one-hour sessions working together on hard, enjoyable problems, easy to start, no ceiling, many ways in
  • Small cohorts of 10–20 students, meeting week after week with the same mentor and the same peers
  • Open to the top 10%: students working at roughly the top 10% of their class, or scoring in the top 10% on the Ei-ASSET from Educational Initiatives. A test score is not required - sustained school performance is enough, and the five-week trial helps everyone judge fit.
  • Discussion-based classes: Students think, argue, explain - they aren't passive listeners
  • Expert mentors: PhDs and experienced educators who teach for understanding, not exam prep
  • Depth-first progression: We begin with core ideas, then extend to harder cases and unfamiliar contexts (that's where the 'advanced' comes from).

Students can take Science only, Mathematics only, or both.

"Sukanya ma'am is different from all the other teachers I've had. I've understood concepts I haven't been able to in the past because of her teaching style."

What 'advanced' means here

Not: racing ahead through the school syllabus, or coaching-style coverage.

Yes: starting from first principles, then pushing an idea further - deriving it, testing where it breaks down, and applying it to an unfamiliar problem.

In practice: it can feel slower and more challenging, because the thinking goes deeper.

"I learned the importance of asking small questions that can lead you to a bigger realisation - and that you can solve difficult problems using very simple concepts."
– Prisha, Kunskapsskolan, Gurgaon

How to get started

1. Come to a Parent Hour

A free online session, every second week, where we explain how Gifted Lab works and answer your questions directly. It is the best way to judge fit before you spend anything. Prefer to write to us instead? Leave your details.

2. Trial one module

Attend 5 weekends of classes. Pay for a trial · See details

3. Join the programme

If the trial worked, continue for the year and the trial fee comes off the annual fee in full. The year includes problem-solving weeks between modules. Next module starts: 11 December 2026

Is this your child?

You might recognise your child in one of these:

The Coaster

Finishes classwork early. Gets bored. Tests are fine, so everyone says 'They're doing well.' But you sense they're not pushing to their full potential - and they haven't learned how to struggle productively.

The Anxious Topper

Always near the top. One 'bad' test shakes them completely. They haven't had a chance to learn from failure. Their confidence is tied to marks, not understanding.

The Invisible Advanced Child

Reads widely, asks sharp questions, sometimes studies ahead. Teachers say 'She's doing great' but can't suggest how to challenge her further. You sense there's more potential than school can use.

The Self-Taught Kid

Already watching physics videos or solving problems for fun. But their learning is scattered. No structured path, no mentor, no peer group at their level.

The System Gap

School moves at the median pace. Tuition adds more of the same. Coaching promises acceleration but optimises for exams, not understanding.

The result? Bright students become experts at reproducing answers, not thinking deeply. They may do well through school - then hit a wall later, in Olympiads, university, or any place that rewards genuine understanding.

Ages 10–14 are the critical window. This is when habits form: whether your child learns to coast, to crumble under pressure - or to enjoy being challenged.

Gifted Lab exists for families who don't want to wait and see which habits stick.

Quick FAQ

Coaching optimises for exam performance. Topics are covered in test sequence. Understanding is 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 a matter of format familiarity, not conceptual catch-up.

We deliberately calibrate workload. Mathematics is 1.5 hours live per week. Science is 1.5 hours for Grades 5–6 and 2 hours for Grades 7–8. Add 2–3 hours of independent work. Less time than most sports or music commitments. Enough to stretch the mind, never to burn it out.

Every session falls on a Friday evening or a weekend, so no school day is affected. Grades 5–6 have Science on Friday evening and Mathematics on Saturday morning; Grades 7–8 have Mathematics on Friday evening and Science on Saturday afternoon. Recordings are available for a week if your child must miss a session.

It can feel slower because we don't skip steps. That is exactly what makes it advanced: we take a concept further - deriving it, testing where it breaks down, applying it to an unfamiliar problem.

Being ahead does not always mean every foundation has been explored deeply. Some students solve familiar problems quickly but have had fewer chances to derive an idea, explain why it works, or use it somewhere they haven't seen it before. Gifted Lab gives them that chance. The pace may feel slower than coaching - but students tell us they "cover more" because they actually understand. Going deeper is often harder than going faster.

Students should join live sessions from a laptop or computer (not a phone or tablet). A stable internet connection and a quiet space for focused participation are essential.
