Why it matters
Doing well is not the same as being appropriately challenged.
Gifted and high-potential children can achieve good results while remaining underchallenged, disconnected or dependent on work they already know how to do.
Limitless gives them a place where deep thinking is expected, difficult work is welcomed and unusual ideas do not need to be explained away.
For some children, two hours a week with intellectual peers can change more than their learning. It can change how they feel about themselves and about school.
Challenge matters. Belonging can change everything.
Eligibility
Who can join Limitless?
Limitless is designed for students who need a level of challenge and intellectual peer connection that is not always available in a regular classroom. It is a selective programme, but a private IQ assessment is not the only route.
A student needs only one of these three routes to be eligible.
Formal identification
A qualified professional has administered an age-appropriate, standardised cognitive assessment, with an overall or relevant index score of 130 or above.
Conclusive school recommendation
The student’s teacher and another relevant school professional jointly conclude that the student needs substantially greater challenge.
The recommendation should describe learning needs and observed indicators. A general statement that a student is bright, hardworking or achieving good grades is not sufficient.
Previous gifted-programme admission
The student has previously been formally admitted to a comparable selective gifted or high-potential programme.
Participation in a general after-school activity, tutoring course or non-selective enrichment club does not automatically meet this criterion.
What does not count on its own
Parent nomination, general after-school activities, tutoring courses and non-selective enrichment clubs do not confirm eligibility by themselves.
Parents are welcome to explain why they believe Limitless may be right for their child. However, parent nomination alone does not confirm eligibility.
Giftedness does not always look like high achievement.
Some gifted students underperform, mask their ability, learn in more than one language or have an additional learning difference such as ADHD, autism or dyslexia. These factors do not exclude a student from Limitless.
Where a full-scale score does not represent the student’s complete cognitive profile, relevant index scores and the professional interpretation of the assessment may be considered.
Programme fit: Meeting an eligibility criterion does not automatically guarantee a place. Limitless also considers the student’s age, learning needs, ability to participate in an English-language group and the balance of the cohort.
The commitment
Why is Limitless a full-year programme?
Belonging, confidence and meaningful growth do not develop in one afternoon. Students need time to understand the programme, trust the group, become comfortable with genuine challenge and develop projects that matter to them.
Families therefore register for the complete 30-session school year. Limitless does not offer one-off introductory lessons or drop-in participation.
A thoughtful start
The first three months
The first 10 delivered sessions form a settling-in and suitability period. This gives each student enough time to experience the different parts of Limitless and become part of the group.
After these 10 sessions, the family and facilitator review whether continuing is right for the student.
If the family decides at this review point that Limitless is not the right fit, they pay only for the sessions already delivered, calculated at €55 per session. Future instalments are cancelled. If the annual fee was paid in advance, the unused balance is refunded.
Students who continue after this review remain enrolled for the rest of the school year.
