BEYOND THE REPORT CARD: THE ART & SCIENCE OF RAISING A TRULY SMART KID
Is your child's intellect outpacing their classroom? You see the bright, curious mind at home— the endless questions, the ability to grasp complex concepts, the boredom with routine work. Yet the report card, with its simple grades, never tells the whole story. Your child isn't just "doing well." They are intellectually hungry, and traditional education often fails to feed their need. You know that skipping a grade is a mismatched solution, addressing the intellectual need while ignoring their social and emotional age.
This challenge is also your greatest opportunity.
Join us for a transformative 75-minute webinar with an expert mentor. Move beyond generic advice and learn a tailored framework for nurturing your child’s exceptional mind without sacrificing their childhood.
Few caveats: A webinar is not a workshop nor a course. It provides an overview of the key concepts and not a deep dive. That would take over 20 hours of CPD. Two, this webinar is does not address behavioral issues or issues specific for 2E kids. Three - its most suitable for parents with kids up to middle school. Parents with kids in secondary or higher secondary classes can attend, however, it may not be as beneficial since children in those classes are very busy preparing for their Boards and have little time for anything else.
Hauroon Jamal brings a unique perspective to educating gifted minds, combining elite engineering training with proven educational results. After applying his IIT Madras degree to product development at Microsoft and corporate consulting, he turned his focus to designing learning systems. He was the mastermind behind the pedagogy and STEM programs at Al Qamar Academy & Cogitation. He personally designs and teaches courses in logical thinking, inquiry-based science, and enriched mathematics. His approach is less about teaching answers and more about building cognitive tools—a method that has consistently produced students who win prizes at international competitions and science fairs.

Thinking Thru the Year
Level 1
Mathematical and logical thinking is a systematic approach to developing intelligences connected with abstract thinking and problem solving. These are generic abilities that show up indirectly as a child approaches specific topics in maths, science and other intellectual activities.
Thinking Thru the Year is a three-year program in which our experts mentor and facilitate students to hone these thinking skills and abilities. Students learn by doing as they solve increasingly complex challenges at their own pace. Our research has shown that even limited exposure to Thinking Thru the Year resulted in a significant improvement in thinking ability, independent working and willingness to take up cognitive challenges both in our courses as well as in their regular schoolwork.
All workshops are conducted by Hauroon Jamal
Grades: 6-8th.
June 14th '25 - February 14th '26.
Saturdays 6:45pm-8:00pm IST.
Reading Thru the Year
Level 1
Reading is foundational to learning. Research shows that reading aids language acquisition as readers subconsciously pick up grammatical structures, spellings, and vocabulary. Reading stimulates the imagination, as children are drawn into magical worlds, far from their own lived experience. Reading also aids socioemotional development by fostering a sense of empathy, curiosity, and perspective taking. However, children are overloaded with schoolwork, and have little time or mental space for reading.
This course provides expert guidance and scaffolding to build the reading habit as well as critical, creative and communication skills. Active learning methods like discussions, debates, role-plays, team presentations, among others make the classes fun and engaging while enabling deep learning.
