What students say

These student reflections come from one Limitless implementation at European School The Hague, and are used here as evidence of the wider program in practice.

“It’s not just skipping class: it’s a brain stretching exercise to help with future problems.”

What students make

Schools and teachers describe the same shift: students who had switched off begin to choose the harder question, and start to find people who think like they do.

“Your expertise has been so important in helping us establish and grow our program. We would not be where we are now without your guidance. While the journey hasn’t always been without its challenges, you patiently navigated each step with us.”
Mineke von der ThüsenTeam Leader, European School The Hague
“A very big thank you from all of us for helping us create a wonderful and successful parent evening and also for your help and guidance towards our program. We have already received quite a few emails from parents who have expressed their happiness and enthusiasm for the upcoming year.”

Beyond IQ

Trusted expertise behind the program

Limitless is built by Beyond IQ. These voices speak to Lihi Engelsman’s teacher training and professional work in gifted education, rather than to the Limitless program itself.

Lihi renewed and strengthened our school’s focus on talented and highly gifted students significantly. Her workshop with teaching staff was of very high quality, enabling our teachers to familiarise themselves with the latest research and to learn about practical implications they could implement easily into their daily practice.
