Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY)

    The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY), a world leader in gifted education, conducts national and international talent searches to identify, assess, and recongnize academic talent.

    Through the Talent Search, high-performing students take a test called S.A.T, designed for older students. The above-grade-level testing can reveal more about the academic talents of students who are topping out on grade-level tests.

    We encourage educators, parents, and other to nominate students who exhibit outstanding academic talent to participate in the annual Johns Hopkins University CTY Talent Search. The nominations are based on the following criteria:

• Achievement at advanced levels on state tests, designated as scoring in categories such as advanced proficiency, distinguished, honors, or gifted, and/or -
• Demonstration of superior academic performance
