Indelible Learning Institute

Coming March 1st

The Indelible Learning Institute (ILI) is a membership-based learning institute for gifted, advanced, and highly motivated students and their families.

We provide intellectually rigorous masterclasses, courses, and live learning experiences designed around the core principles of gifted education: depth, complexity, acceleration, and novelty.

ILI is neither a school and nor is it test prep.

It is an institute for serious learning—where students explore big ideas, grapple with real-world problems, and are introduced to advanced topics in science, medicine, civics, and beyond.

Built by and for gifted educators and practitioners, ILI is a community where teaching, research, and mentoring come together.

Who is ILI for?

ILI is built for:

  • Gifted and advanced learners (middle school through high school, as well as motivated younger students)
  • Families seeking more than standard enrichment or tutoring
  • Homeschooling families
  • Gifted education communities
  • Parents who want depth, challenge, and meaning—not busy work
What makes ILI different?
  1. Gifted standards, by design
    Everything we offer is built around depth, complexity, acceleration, and novelty—not worksheets, not superficial projects, not watered-down content.
  2. Real-world, high-level thinking
    Students don’t just “learn about” topics—they will think like scientists, physicians, detectives, analysts, and civic leaders, working through authentic problems and cases.
  3. Led by expert educators and practitioners
    ILI is founded and led by experienced physician-educators and researchers who have spent decades working with gifted and high-achieving students across schools, universities, medical schools, and national programs.
  4. A community, not just courses
    ILI is building a learning community with pathways for students, recognition for alumni and fellows, and opportunities for mentorship, leadership, and public scholarship.
  5. Purpose-built for families
    We serve families directly, avoiding bureaucracy and focusing on quality, rigor, and real educational impact.

Welcome

To Indelible Learning

Serious Learning is serious play

What’s the key to our success? We start with authentic ingredients, ensuring the player experience has high-fidelity to the real world.

As we design, we remove as much distracting clutter as we can, keeping the user interface simple and intuitive. We think really hard about the learning challenge, and do not stop until we understand the problem deeply.

Finally, we set a high bar for success. Train hard, so the real-world task becomes easy.

Not just another EdTech Company

Passion & Expertise

We understand learners, meeting them at their level, and we care about knowing the content deeply.

Real Data

Truth is not only stranger than fiction, it is also far more interesting.

Unsatisfaction

Teachers and their students are stifled by the learning status quo; this frustration compels us to do better.

Election Lab

Democracy is either at its most vibrant or facing its greatest peril. Over 20 million teenagers will be eligible to vote in 2024. Are parents and schools doing enough to ensure they are ready to participate?

Real Data, Real Learning

The best kind of learning is a hard but rewarding challenge. A well-designed learning game is so immersive, players don’t even realize that they are learning.
