A valuable resource for parents with younger child
I have not seen much discussion about a great resources for parents with younger children in our group. This may help younger children to be motivated to excel. We have been working with two experts from this institute to develop my son over the years. Drs. Linda Brody and Michelle Muratori provided valuable advice to my son, guiding him over the years. He got qualified at twelve and half when scored 740 in SAT math and 700 in critical reading, one area above 700 before age 13 is the eligibility to SET. He took a sequence of CTY summer classes as follows:
Polymers and Crystals
Fast Pace High School Biology
Genetics
Genomics
Neuralscience
These classes enabled him to secure his interests in biological sciences/engineering. The SET services are free while you pay for the CTY classes but worth every penny! Face to face advice sessions in SET can be arranged when the child attend CTY or telephone conference at any time.
Please keep this discussion within our group and respect my privacy.

The Julian C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) was created to help extremely talented students achieve their full potential, and, through its research and advocacy initiatives, to enhance the educational opportunities available for all academically advanced students.
Since 1980, SET has assisted students throughout the world who exhibit extraordinary mathematical or verbal reasoning ability by scoring at least 700 on either the Mathematical or Verbal (Critical Reading) part of the SAT before the age of 13 (or score an additional ten points for each additional month of age).
What is SET?
The Julian C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) provides direct services free-of-charge to students who meet eligibility requirements. SET evolved from a concern that students whose reasoning abilities are exceptionally advanced for their age may need an educationally advanced program to be optimally challenged (more in History of SET). In addition, they may lack a peer group who share their interests and abilities. While all of CTY’s programs have been developed with these concerns in mind, students who score at the highest levels on tests of ability or achievement may be most at risk for failing to achieve their full potential if these issues are not addressed. Thus, SET focuses on working with students who achieve exceptional scores on the SAT in CTY’s Talent Search or through another venue.
SET's approach is very individualized. Our counseling focuses on helping students make good educational choices, given their individual strengths and weaknesses, interests and motivation, and available resources in the school and community. We highly value summer programs, academic competitions, and a variety of extracurricular activities as effective means to enhance challenge and learning, and, most especially, to connect with like-minded peers during the high school years. We work closely with some families, while others have less need to request assistance because their current needs are being met. In addition to offering individual guidance, SET serves the larger group by providing information about opportunities and resources in Imagine magazine, the SET Newsletter, and the Cogito website, and by hosting group meetings.
SET’s work is research-based. SET members are followed over time, providing feedback on what has supported their development. Some studies also include input from parents. Participation is voluntary, but these efforts help us better understand the needs of highly gifted students, identify effective strategies for serving them, and advocate for services.
The lessons learned from working with SET students can clearly apply to a larger population. Imagine magazine, which is available by subscription, and the Cogito website, are initiatives that resulted from SET’s interest in serving more students. We also focus on the dissemination of SET’s core principles and practices and research findings through publications and presentations at conferences in an effort to influence educational policy and practice (see Research & Advocacy).
