Academic Guide at Crossover for gt.school

Do you recall the moment you discovered you learned faster than your peers? When striving for excellence became part of who you are, not simply what you did?

We are constructing an elite mentorship environment where exceptional cognitive ability meets individualized progression. Expect less focus on "managing a classroom" and more on "removing barriers for brilliant students advancing at 5-10x typical speed."
