Frequently Asked Questions - Enrollment Eligibility
Enrollment Eligibility
There are many kinds and levels of
intellectual giftedness. That's why The Super Saturday Program allows a
student admission if he meets just one of the following criteria:
- Mental ability (I.Q.) of a standard score on a cognitive ability measure equivalent to the 95th percentile.
- Achievement test scores in Total Reading or Total Math at or above the 95th percentile.
- If the aforementioned tests scores are not available or appropriate, evidence of outstanding achievement or potential.
Every new student needs a recommendation from a teacher,
principal, psychologist, psychiatrist or similar professional to
certify that the child meets admission criteria. See Registration for complete information and Professional Recommendation Form to view and print the needed form.
Ideally, the best alternative to a school professional is a psychologist or testing professional. However, these services can be very costly and unnecessary. If you home school your child, as your child's teacher, you may sign the form. You may also ask your pediatrician for the recommendation. If your child isn't yet in school, ask your pediatrician to recommend your child.
