Long Island University Center for Gifted Youth (C.W. Post Campus)
Summer 2009 Program for International Children Grades 2-8

The Long Island University Center for Gifted Youth offers an exciting summer program for gifted international/national English-speaking students entering grades 2-8. The specially designed curriculum emphasizes problem solving, critical and creative thinking, and independence in learning. Courses introduce new and interesting ideas and hands-on experience in science, mathematics, computers, law, writing, and social sciences. The combination of extraordinary teachers recruited from leading local schools and university-level facilities gives the program unique strength in producing positive benefits and new exposure to students. Workshops for parents of enrolled children are an integral part of the program. These special sessions are conducted by psychologists and explore a variety of issues of interest to parents of gifted children. International students usually live with a relative. Students commute to classes Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during the month of July.
