[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is now the talent search was so meaningful to me in middle and junior high that I wouldn't forgo the ability to participate later. I benefited greatly from both the summer programs and the long distance courses. Have you looked into the SCAT for your elementary student? It seems so much more intense than I'd be up for with my 3rd grader, but if you're interested in true gifted programing, it may be worth it? [/quote]

Thanks! So under the pilot programs they can participate in summer classes and long distance courses but only those at the CYT level NOT the CYT advance level. So you can do summer programs via the pilot program. But was the talent search portion itself beneficial? Getting in via the pilot program would mean that he would keep him in the program through High school. so he wouldn't miss out later on (except for the advanced courses).

I did look into SCAT and PSAT but felt it was kind of a bit much to make my 3rd grader take that and if we decide not to enter via the pilot program will probably wait till middle school to apply. [/quote]
