The Center for Gifted Education at the ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ of ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ at Lafayette will once again provide academic and arts courses for children this summer.
The Summer Enrichment Program serves academically talented and creative ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵs who are currently in pre-k through grade 6.
To qualify, a ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ must present satisfactory scores on a standardized test of mental ability or academic achievement. ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵs can also be tested through the Center for Gifted Education.
Two sessions of mini-courses will take place from June 10-13 and June 17-20. ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵs are encouraged to register early, but can enroll up until the first day of each session.
The Summer Scholars Residential and Commuter Program is in place for ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵs currently in grades seven through nine. The registration deadline for that program, which will take place from June 24-28, is May 31.
Summer Scholars choose daily classes offered from a variety of academic and arts areas. They also take a course in leadership.
To qualify, a ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ must present satisfactory scores on a standardized test of mental ability or academic achievement from their school. ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵs classified as gifted or talented by state standards automatically qualify for the program.
Limited scholarship tuition funds are available for ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵs whose families qualify on the basis of financial need.
