Gifted Kids Go to College

The panel discussion Gifted Kids Go to College during the Utah Association for Gifted Children annual conference in January addressed topics geared to college-oriented students, including:
·    “programmatic approach” to college planning throughout middle and  high school years;
·    understanding of college entry requirements;
·    negotiating through numerous sources of information, including local resources.

In addition to these complex issues, there are also specific characteristics that may greatly affect “gifted” college planning, for example multiple talents of your children or kids’ sensitivity to expectation of others around them.

To navigate successfully through these waters may be easier when both you and your children understand the role played at schools by guidance counselors.

For parents who are interested to learn more about AP, IB, concurrent enrollment and middle school educational programs at the Jordan School District or to gain more knowledge about financial side of college planning,
