They all are, of course. But if you’re interested in the gifted and talented programs the city’s Department of Education has to offer you might want to attend an info session tonight in Manhattan.
In order to get into programs in their local districts, students must test in the 90th percentile. Those who test in the 97th percentile are eligible for the five more selective programs that take kids from across the city.
If you are interested in the test, a request must be submitted by November 17th. The first information session is tonight at the Louis Brandeis campus on West 84th Street. See below for the schedules for other boroughs. More info is available at the Department of Education’s Web site.
