Renu Rose is a visionary when it comes to creating a fertile environment to help children who are gifted succeed and excel in school and life. While compassionately honoring each childs individual gifts, needs, and feelings, Ms. Rose also creates the structure and systems that allow for accountability and progress, in an environment of peace and positivity. It often seems that one must choose between a supportive and compassionate environment, or one of achievement and accountability. Renu Rose has the unusual ability to find the right balance time and again. Her in-tune intuition, personal love of learning, expertise and extreme care for these children combine to create a powerful experience for students, families, and educators as a team. Any family working with Ms. Rose as a guide to giftedness will surely feel a great sense of relief, knowing they are in the best of hands.

You have found a rare gem in Renu Rose and her new SAGE Center. My wife and I first met Renu in 2010 when we came to her for help because of our frustration with schools that were not able to take care of our gifted son properly. She allowed for two hours in her schedule to address our concerns. I was touched deeply by her unique combination of compassion, Harvard-intellect, and intuitive ability to lead her school and her teachers. She completely understood how to guide our son and how to serve his best and highest good. I am happy for your child that you have found this website.
