As the country’s first academic talent center, Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth (CTY) supports and advocates for advanced learners to make sure they achieve their full academic potential.
Through our research-backed academic programs, customized to knowledge and skill level, we give bright students a chance to work to their full potential and develop unique talents. What they accomplish at CTY adds depth to what they learn in school.
CTY nurtures advanced learners so they become engaged, inspired, and challenged. Your child will build strong connections with other curious students and create paths for lifelong personal and professional success.
Scholarships and financial aid are available.
Johns Hopkins research informs CTY’s enriching academic experiences for advanced learners like yours. An accelerated pace lets your child cover up to an entire semester in a few weeks. From robotics and Arabic to physics and philosophy, they’ll study what they love and work to their full potential.
World-class instructors help your child move at their own pace as they dig into challenging, thought-provoking courses they can’t access at school. You’ll watch your child form lasting bonds with other bright learners. Curiosity soars as they gain confidence, find belonging, and have space to succeed—and safely fail—in a supportive environment.
Choose from year-round online options and on-campus summer programs. Your child will broaden their horizons and experience subjects not offered in most schools. Through our accredited courses, they can even earn school credit.
You build lifelong friendships at CTY. The classes seem really intense at first, but the teachers ease you into it. Everyone is happy and friendly, and we always do fun activities and challenges.
