Gifted and Talented

Application deadline of March 8th has passed.

Please contact our office at 719-389-6330 to see if there is an opening for your child. 

For 32 years, Colorado College has offered this three-week summer program for gifted elementary school students. Children entering grade one through grade six in August are eligible for these courses, which are designed to challenge the children’s intellectual and creative abilities.

Directed by Professor Charlotte Mendoza, Professor in the Colorado College Education Department, the program brings to the campus teachers who are experienced and skilled in working with gifted children and who are well educated in their fields. Each teacher has an assistant to help provide the individual attention that gifted children need.
