At Renzulli Learning, we believe giftedness knows no boundaries. It exists in every culture, community, and classroom—often hidden beneath systemic challenges or overlooked by traditional measures of achievement. A recent Annahar article, “Unlocking Lebanon’s Hidden Gems: Igniting the Potential of Gifted Learners”, by Lebanese educator Naima Kayal, highlights this reality within Lebanon’s educational system.

The article explains how gifted students often remain unidentified or unsupported in environments with limited resources. In Lebanon—a country rich in culture and academic tradition—gifted learners frequently go unnoticed, especially in underserved communities. This is due not to lack of ability but lack of opportunity.

Naima shares, “We firmly believe that the school environment plays a crucial role in allowing gifted behaviors to emerge and flourish.” Inspired by the Renzulli model, she is helping her school develop programs that nurture gifted learners, showing how strength-based approaches can unlock potential anywhere.

This inspiring post aligns with the Renzulli Learning philosophy and offers valuable insight for anyone passionate about equity and excellence in education.
