Immediately after her enrolment, she was asked to interview for a high school to provide help to high ability children. There, she among others started with the Parnassos class: a special class for gifted students who require a little more guidance. The pupils are 9 years old when they come in and they are guided by using executive functions, projects, collaboration, taking on challenges, and positive psychology. Basically everything gifted students need to make a good start at the gymnasium and to have enough knowledge for the rest of their school career.
“During my final research, I started investigating which components definitely needed to be addressed in the Parnassos class and what had already been addressed in science. So for me it was very helpful and very practical at the same time. I also really enjoyed the fact that we had fellow students; our own peer group. I learned a lot from them and I am still in contact with some of them. For me, that was also very helpful to start looking together as gifted specialists: what is needed in the world? How can we make it even more clear to the world that this kind of education is really very much needed?”
