    Overview

    The Center for Gifted Youth brings together two important elements of education for the gifted: extraordinary teachers and university-level facilities with a goal of providing learning experiences that will deepen and extend their intellectual interests, as well as develop the skills of independent learning.

    The Center for Gifted Youth's underlying philosophy should be understood by all considering its program for their children. Our extraordinary teachers are recruited from leading high schools, middle schools and elementary schools in the NY metropolitan area. The Center is committed to the development of the intellectual potential of each child. We provide learning experiences for children with superior intellectual ability that will deepen and extend their intellectual interests, as well as develop the skills of independent learning. Classes are taught at a faster pace and in greater depth than in most schools. The program is designed to augment programs in local schools.
