Gifted & Talented Program Admission Test Prep
Programs for gifted and talented children offer new learning experiences and give children the chance to meet others like themselves. Programs run in and outside schools. We work with students on admission tests and also provide tutoring services once they are enrolled in the programs. A few of these programs include Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY), Stanford Pre-collegiate Studies, and Duke Talent Identification Program.
