We support students with advanced yet complex learning needs, by providing the intellectual and creative challenges they crave, while allowing them to learn with like-minded peers in a supportive environment.
Our charitable organisation advocates for the diverse and complex learning needs of children with high learning potential. We are overseeing the running of various programmes for gifted children in Taranaki, and offer support and resources to families and schools.

In Term One 2021 we began a new chapter by rolling out our new 'The Head Office' programme across Taranaki, replacing the MindPlus programme and The Zone in South Taranaki. The Head Office is a locally developed programme for Taranaki students.
