Cen­ter for Tal­ent Devel­op­ment (CTD) at North­west­ern Uni­ver­si­ty is ded­i­cat­ed to help­ing aca­d­e­m­i­cal­ly tal­ent­ed stu­dents, age 3 through grade 12, real­ize their full poten­tial. Through assess­ment, advanced enrich­ment, and accel­er­at­ed pro­grams, CTD’s unique Path­ways approach helps stu­dents devel­op the knowl­edge and skills they need to become bold, cre­ative achiev­ers and con­trib­u­tors. The Path­ways approach allows stu­dents to focus on a par­tic­u­lar sub­ject or explore dif­fer­ent fields and inter­est areas. CTD offers pro­gram­ming at every grade lev­el, as well as resources for par­ents to sup­port their children’s growth and ser­vices for edu­ca­tors and schools to pro­mote best prac­tices and sup­ple­ment local offerings.
