The Apogee & Spectrum programs at Center for Talent Development (CTD) combines rigorous academic experiences with fun and exciting social opportunities, as a part of the Northwestern University summer program. Studying at a world-class university in challenging courses, participating in recreational and social activities, and enjoying the cultural riches of a great city define the Spectrum experience.

The Spectrum program provides accelerated learning experiences specifically designed for academically talented students completing grades 4-6 and 7 or 8. Students completing grade 9 may also apply and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. All Spectrum courses are taught at the high-school honors level, by master teachers, and accelerated honors courses carry one or two semesters of high-school credit.

The application for 2016 is now open!
