Programs
Enrichment and credit-bearing, accelerated programs designed for students at every age and stage of talent development.
Talent Development is a Life-Long Journey
Get Informed and Prepared.
Your child is doing well in school and discovering more about their interests and strengths through challenging courses and extra-curricular activities. Still, there are steps your family can take to assure your child is on the path that is best for them. The first, and most important, step is getting access to information and resources like these from the Center for Talent Development and the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.
Identify Strengths and Interests
Above-Grade-Level Assessment
CTD Assessments help determine a student's need for enrichment, acceleration, or supplemental programming and provide valuable insights about what they are ready to learn beyond grade level content.
Take Enrichment or Accelerated, Credit-Bearing Courses
Outside-of-School Programming
Take advantage of summers, weekends, and online learning to explore an interest, develop an area of strength, and connect with peers. CTD has programs that begin when your family is ready and that meet a wide range of interests and learning needs. Find the right program for now or think ahead to plan your next steps. Financial aid is available for qualified students.
