We ♥ Our Partners & Pals
Thanks sincerely to our Partners and Pals: trusted gifted- and 2e-related service providers who’ve donated valuable benefits to one or both levels of GHF Forum Membership. Those who partner with us via affiliate programs offer our GHF Community Members a discount, while also donating a portion of proceeds to GHF - it’s the win-win-win trifecta! Pals who offer discounts and freebies to paid GHF Friends Members are helping us add significant ways to say “thank you,” and offset some or all the cost of annual membership fees. Partners and Pals that appear here have been verified as aligning with the GHF mission and values, and most have been speakers and contributors for GHF in some way, so feel confident in your selections. You’ll find the codes in the GHF Forum - happy browsing!
Barefoot Tech Academy
-
Barefoot Technology Academy is a virtual microschool for gifted and 2e high school students, and we're admitting our founding class for Fall 2026. We offer project-based learning, focused on mastery development and self-direction. Students explore a wide range of content based on their interests, and receive 1:1 mentorship throughout their time at school.
Critikid
-
"Critikid teaches critical thinking to children and teens ages 5-18 through interactive online courses, worksheets, lesson plans, and a homeschool curriculum. The resources cover topics such as logical fallacies, media literacy, data literacy, emotional intelligence, and formal logic. Many of the resources use story-based learning to make abstract concepts concrete and engaging. Critikid is especially useful for gifted and 2e learners who need depth, complexity, and meaningful intellectual challenge beyond standard curriculum. Students explore advanced reasoning topics, analyze real-world claims, and build precise language for explaining their thinking."
Hypatia STEM Academy
-
"We are a team of PhD scientists that offer interactive science classes to promote passionate young scientists. We want students to be equipped with the tools for investigating the world around them."
Learning in Depth Quest
-
"Learning in Depth was originally created by educational philosopher Kieran Egan, and we’ve lovingly adapted it for today’s curious kids (and their families) in a flexible, digital, mentor-supported format. Your kids will be taught a set of timeless tools for thinking as they complete our LiD challenges. They'll use these tools to fall in love with their assigned topic (and — if we achieve our aim — any topic they encounter in the future). The LiD learning adventure offers a structured learning experience, with rigorous research guidance, without sacrificing the wonder and freedom that comes with learning about something you love."
Maestro Music
-
"Maestro Music is a boutique online music studio, not a tutor marketplace. Our teachers have diverse musical backgrounds, including a performer from the Moscow Philharmonic, an Antarctic cruise ship musician, and the pianist for the 2025 Video Game of the Year soundtrack, and make each lesson feel fun, while helping your kids build valuable life skills along the way. Think of us like your neighborhood music studio, right down to the live recitals. Taught with a student-centered approach, making for a great fit with kids who think outside the box."
NeuroD Is Me
-
"This shop is more than a marketplace; it’s part of a larger mission to empower our neurodiverse community through meaningful products and to support groundbreaking research in cognitive diversity. Every purchase here helps fund research through the Spiral Institute of Research and ongoing collaborations with the Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education. Especially now, with looming threats to public education funding, our independent efforts are more important than ever. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, love someone who is, or simply believe in a world that celebrates cognitive diversity, you’re in the right place. Everything in this shop—from designs to messaging—is made with heart, purpose, and a deep commitment to equity and empowerment. NeuroD Is Me is here to spread awareness, spark conversations, and help you wear your pride out loud.."

To clarify, GHF is using the term “partner” in a colloquial way; we are not legal/business-definition partners with any of the above entities. We receive compensation from affiliate programs. Regardless of compensations or donations, we only recommend businesses that meet our criteria for being quality services or products that are relevant to gifted and 2e people, and that align with GHF’s values. That said, this does not represent a guarantee.
