Center for Talented Development
Center for Talent Development (CTD) at Northwestern University uses tests intended for older students to provide a more accurate measurement of aptitude, because studies show that students who score in the top 10% on school achievement tests differ widely from average students in their abilities and educational needs.
CTD is dedicated to helping gifted children, age 4 through grade 12, reach full potential. CTD provides research-based assessment, advanced academic programs and resources to enhance a child's schooling. Our signature approach to talent development delivers personalized options and guidance. Program pathways lead students on a journey of intellectual, emotional and social growth. By extending support to families and educators, we help exceptional students discover their unique voice, explore opportunities, cultivate a love of learning and become bold, creative achievers and contributors.
