Talent Search Awards provide an opportunity for PG students to receive academic information, recognition, and advanced learning. This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about their abilities by taking a test that is designed for older students. Many PG students score in the 99% of tests for their own age/grade level, which is not very helpful in educational planning for this student. However, the talent search awards are a good opportunity for him/her to identify his/her real strengths and weakness relative to himself/herself, not relative to age/grade peers. These students need advanced academic opportunities. Not only do these these test scores qualify students for programs within the Talent Search organization, but they help parents advocate with schools and other organizations. Many areas (athletics, the arts, music etc.) offer awards ceremonies to recognize exceptional talent. The Talent Search Awards provide the same type of opportunity for intellectually gifted students.

We tried the summer program for our child leaving kindergarten last summer. It was a wonderful, in-depth experience, the best we've had since leaving a gifted school in the mid west.
