Romanian Gifted School

Povestea lui David începe într-o școală publică din SUA. Este rapid observat de profesorii din jurul său pentru tenacitate și modul de prelucrare a informației. I se dau testele aferente, în urma cărora I se recomandă intrarea în programul pentru “gifted and talented” din cadrul sistemului public.

Totul se întâmplă în New York. Între timp, familia este nevoită să revină în România, unde părinții îl înscriu la o școală publică.
Din copilul care înflorea și era apreciat pentru modul în care reușea să găsească soluții la diverse provocări curriculare, ajunge să fie copilul apostrofat continuu că nu scrie frumos, că nu citește în limba română, că nu asimilează ortogramele, că nu lucrează problemele de matematică în manieră algebrică, etapizată. Totul devine împovărător atât pentru el, cât și pentru părinți. Copilului i-a fost greu mulți ani să înțeleagă de ce părinții lui sunt singurii susținători, profesorii nevăzând în el un performer, confom standardelor de evaluare din sistemul românesc.

Reușește să intre la un liceu de arte din București, de care este dezamăgit rapid. Totul era șablonist, nici urmă de creativitate. Profesorii de la materiile de profil s-au dovedit fie slab pregătiți, fie absenți.

Prima dată când a fost observat pentru ideile creative, nu cm le așeza pe foaie, acolo era de lucru, a fost într-o tabără de vară organizată de RGS, pe vremea când eram Kleine Schule. Am observat că are abilități de leader, mult inhibate, pe care și le-a explorat cu multă precauție. Când am deschis școala, în 2020, i-am spus mamei sale să-l aducă la noi. Așa a început un nou drum al explorării de sine și a descoperirii creativității în multe forme ale sale. Primul "aha" referitor la parcursul său profesional a venit târziu, în ultimul an de liceu. A fost după o primă vizită pe un platou de filmare și primul proiect de film în cadrul orelor de curs, când a descoperit că nu este doar despre teatru, ci și despre scenografie. După aceea lucrurile au venit firesc. Pasiunea a căpătat alte forme. Munca depusă pentru atingerea obiectivului s-a transformat în plăcere.

Noi, la RGS, privim copiii din alte unghiuri și asta le dă aripi!




David’s story begins in a public school in the USA, where he quickly stands out to the teachers around him due to his tenacity and unique way of processing information. He is given the necessary tests, after which he is recommended for entry into the “gifted and talented” program within the public system.

Everything happens in New York, but in the meantime, the family has to return to Romania, where his parents enroll him in a public school.

From being a flourishing child, praised for his ability to find solutions to various curricular challenges, David becomes the child constantly scolded for not writing neatly, not reading in Romanian, not mastering grammar, and not solving math problems in the expected way. It all becomes overwhelming for both him and his parents. For many years, David struggles to understand why his parents are his only supporters, as his teachers do not see him as a high achiever according to the Romanian system’s evaluation standards.

He eventually gets into an arts high school in Bucharest, only to be quickly disappointed. Everything is formulaic, with no trace of creativity. The subject teachers prove to be either poorly prepared or absent.

The first time his creative ideas were noticed—despite his need for improvement in how he expressed them on paper—was during a summer camp organized by RGS, back when it was called Kleine Schule. We noticed his latent leadership skills, which he explored with great caution. When we opened the school in 2020, I told his mother to bring him to us. This marked the beginning of a new journey of self-exploration and the discovery of creativity in many forms.

The first "aha" moment regarding his career path came late, in his final year of high school. It was after his first visit to a film set and the first film project during class hours when he realized it wasn't just about theater but also about set design. From that point on, things naturally fell into place. His passion took new forms, and the hard work he put in toward achieving his goals turned into pure enjoyment.

At RGS, we look at children from different perspectives, and that gives them wings!

Bucuria noastră este mare astăzi! David, absolvent Romanian Gifted Schooli, este student la UNATC I. L. Caragiale, Secția Imagine de Film și TV.

Locurile sunt puține (12), iar doritori mult peste numărul de locuri alocate. Orele de film (creare de film - practică) și cele de Media Studies (aprofundarea elementele de gramatică și semantică cinematografică) din cadrul școlii l-au ajutat să-și dea seama că acesta este traseul de carieră dorit, dar și care sunt cerințele pentru facultate. Proiectele la care a participat, l-au ajutat foarte mult să-și atingă obiectivul propus. Mulțumiri speciale Danielei, profesorul nostru!

Daniela este masterandă a U.N.A.T.C. "I.L.Caragiale" Bucuresti, Arta Montajului. Ea este și asistent universitar la aceeași facultate.

Vă las unul dintre proiectele care m-au impresionat! Munca de echipă a contat enorm!




Our joy is great today! David Berlo, a graduate of Romanian Gifted School, is now a student at UNATC I.L. Caragiale, Film and TV Imaging Department.

There are only a few spots available (12), and the number of applicants far exceeds the number of places. The film classes (film creation - practical work) and Media Studies classes (deepening knowledge of cinematic grammar and semantics) at our school helped him realize that this is the career path he wanted and what the requirements for the university are. The projects he participated in were instrumental in helping him achieve his goal. Special thanks to Daniela, our teacher!

Daniela is a master's student at U.N.A.T.C. "I.L. Caragiale" Bucharest, in Film Editing. She is also a teaching assistant at the same university.

I’ll leave you with one of the projects that impressed me! Teamwork was incredibly important!
