[quote=Anonymous]I sometimes wonder whether Speyer being described as a “gifted school” is more of a marketing claim than a reflection of how the school actually operates. After all, students apply in kindergarten just like they do for most private schools, and there isn’t a separate gifted assessment process like the one used by Hunter. I also haven’t really seen many cases where families choose Speyer over other top-tier schools after being accepted to those schools. Of course, Speyer does offer strong programs such as debate, math, and chess, which are certainly valuable. But calling it a school specifically for gifted students feels more like a positioning choice by the school rather than a designation based on a clear gifted identification process.[/quote]
