About Us

The Genius was founded by Mr. Prasan Wilfred in 1990 with a small group of children of various age groups who would visit "Genius Uncle's" house for informal sessions. They would sit out in his lawn or on durries on the floor of the house and play word games, solve puzzles, read books or simply have discussions on topics of interest.

The benefit of these sessions was immediately obvious to the children's parents, peers and school teachers. The children who came to The Genius developed a healthy curiosity and a love of knowledge and literature. They became fluent conversationalists and confident public speakers. Their masterly grasp of the English language, wide awareness of both cultural and current topics, and impressive problem solving and critical thinking abilities made them the obvious choices to represent their schools in competitions.

What's more, these children loved their sessions at The Genius, often insisting on coming even on Sundays and holidays!
