Programs That Fit Your Needs
Students have a lot of responsibilities throughout the year (and so do families). We’ve designed our programs to fit in every season, adapt to competing schedules, and address multiple interests and goals. View all our program options.
Assessment
Understand Your Abilities. Find Your Strengths. Chart Your Own Path.
Not every student knows their strengths or the level and pace at which they are ready to learn new content. For students looking to discover and nurture their talents, there are many ways CTD can help. For over 35 years, CTD has utilized above-grade-level testing as a tool for identifying academic ability, measuring growth, and connecting academically advanced students with resources and opportunities. But, above-grade-level testing is just one tool CTD offers to inform your talent development journey.
- Early learning assessment (Age 4 - Grade 3)
- Above-Grade-Level assessment (Grades 3 - 9)
- Talent development pathways consulting
- CTD Pathfinders membership for students
