Students will spend three weeks immersed in academically challenging subjects at JHU's Center for Talented Youth in California, Florida, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, and online.

Nine students from Tennessee, California, New Jersey, and Virginia who joined the CTY Scholars Program in the 8th grade just completed four years in the program and graduated high school!
