Leading Educational Innovation and Change for Over 18 Years

Originally known as Gateways Education, ALDEA (pronounced al-day-ah) meaning ‘village’ in Galician, is based in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia. Since 2001 our team has been an integral part of the global education village, specialising in the education of gifted and talented / highly able students.

ALDEA was founded with the belief that ‘It takes a village to raise a child’. By working in partnership with educational systems, organisations, leaders and researchers, across Australia, Europe, the Asia Pacific region and Africa, we guide educational innovation and change through professional learning, mentoring, coaching, research and ongoing consultancy.

Bronwyn has a passion for gifted education, curriculum differentiation, leadership development and works with schools and systems across the global educational landscape.
