Peter and Paula Imafidon, 9-year-old twins living at Waltham Forest in northeast London , are a part of the highest-achieving clan in the history of Great Britain education.<\/p>\n
The two youngest siblings are about to make British history as the youngest students to ever enter high school. They astounded veteran experts of academia when they became the youngest to ever pass the University of Cambridge \u2019s advanced mathematics exam. That\u2019s on top of the fact they have set world records when they passed the A\/AS-level math papers.<\/p>\n
Chris Imafidon, their father, said he\u2019s not concerned about his youngest children\u2019s ability to adapt to secondary school despite their tender age. \u201cWe\u2019re delighted with the progress they have made,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause they are twins they are always able to help and support each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
To Peter and Paula\u2019s parents, this is nothing new. Chris Imafidon said he and his wife have been through this before: they have other super-gifted, overachieving children.<\/p>\n
Peter and Paula\u2019s sister, Anne-Marie, now 20, holds the world record as the youngest girl to pass the A-level computing, when she was just 13.<\/p>\n
She is now studying at arguably the most renowned medical school in the United States , Johns Hopkins University , in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
Another sister, Christina, 17, is the youngest student to ever get accepted and study at an undergraduate institution at any British university at the tender age of 11.<\/p>\n
And Samantha, now age 12, had passed two rigorous high school-level mathematics and statistics exams at the age of 6, something that her twin siblings, Peter and Paula, also did.<\/p>\n
Chris Imafidon migrated to London from Nigeria in West Africa over 30 years ago. And despite his children\u2019s jaw-dropping, history-making academic achievements, he denies there is some \u201cgenius gene\u201d in his family. Instead, he credits his children\u2019s success to the Excellence in Education program for disadvantaged inner-city children.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery child is a genius,\u201d he told British reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce you identify the talent of a child and put them in the environment that will nurture that talent, then the sky is the limit. Look at Tiger Woods or the Williams sisters [Venus and Serena] \u2014 they were nurtured. You can never rule anything out with them. The competition between the two of them makes them excel in anything they do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
