THE CTD APPROACH

Frequently Asked Questions

The Center for Talent Development (CTD) Online Programs draw on decades of experience in gifted education, offer challenge and choice, and let students explore subjects or move at a pace that isn't always available in a traditional school environment.

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.

What Is Pacing Like? Asynchronous vs Synchronous?

Online courses at CTD come in multiple forms. 

Some are live online, during which students work collaboratively in real time. Others are ‘asynchronous’ to fit the needs of students who need to move at their own pace or plan assignments around extracurricular activities and other schedule conflicts. In asynchronous courses, the teacher will provide pacing recommendations to help students stay on track.

Is CTD Accredited?
