Just like the world’s great explorers, CTY students are motivated by curiosity,
wonder, and a desire to engage in and triumph over new challenges.
CTY goes around the globe, reaches out to academically advanced learners from more
than 120 countries, and provides them with endless opportunities to create, innovate,
and shape the future. Through summer and online courses, and family and international
programs, we are building a vibrant community of learners, thinkers, and doers.
Nurturing high-ability students and fostering their creative spirit and innovative
skills are critically important missions. Innovation is the driver of the new knowledge
economy. Countries around the world are more interested than ever before in
producing entrepreneurs, Nobel Prize winners, and leaders.
It is these explorers of today who will make the discoveries of tomorrow.
This year KRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL in Washington,

competency. Principal Kwame Simmons said the program,

math performance. CTYOnline has worked with more than
