The Virtual School for the Gifted 'In real life the gifted wear masks to enable them to fit in with their peers, hiding intellectual passions. The Virtual School for the Gifted is the place to remove the mask. A place where no one knows your age, race, creed, can tell if you have a disability, strange looks or peculiar family -- nor do they care. At the Virtual School for the Gifted you are judged solely on what you say. It is a place to let your individuality, thoughts and ideas run free. The Virtual School for the Gifted is a place where you can just be yourself.'
