Registration is now open for CTY’s fall 2025 online courses!

Pi Day (3.14) is our favorite holiday. Not only do we celebrate math and pi(e), we also celebrate CTY’s mission to support advanced learners.

Your Pi Day contribution to CTY helps make a difference in the lives of advanced learners through research, programs, and other supports. With your help, CTY can reach students from across the country and around the world to build a global community.

Sending huge congratulations to CTYers who were recently invited to participate in the QuestBridge and Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Young Scholars programs!

These CTY Scholars Program participants were selected for the QuestBridge National College Match Program and will receive a full four-year scholarship to a highly selective college or university:

Registration is now open for CTY’s 2025 summer On-Campus Programs! At CTY summer sites, students in grades 2-12 spend three weeks forming a vibrant learning community and making lifelong friends. Our courses are designed for kids and teens who enjoy rigorous, hands-on coursework, lively discussions, and a culture of curiosity and academic exploration.

Mary Bloom Hyman, a dear friend and supporter of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth whose dedication to advanced learners spanned half a century, passed away on Sept. 23, 2024, at the age of 97. Her contributions to CTY were singular in their impact.

Spark your child’s curiosity with our rigorous, fresh, and fun new online courses for advanced learners starting in early January 2025. Whether your bright child loves math, sports, reading, history, or science, we’ve got a cool new course for them to dive into and explore.

CTY is celebrating its 45th anniversary by hosting a three-day research colloquium on Oct. 22-24, 2024.

Join us for four upcoming expert-led college admissions workshops designed specifically for advanced learners in grades 8+ and their parents or caregivers. We’ll focus on some of the biggest issues in undergraduate admissions.

CTY is now enrolling students in grades 6-8 in a new expert-led online mini course that will provide an inside look at how eyewitness testimony is used in the legal system. The course is led by Dr. Amy Lynne Shelton, CTY’s executive director and an expert in psychological and brain sciences.

Research could lead to more equitable identification methods and predict academic performance.
