A Message From Our Leadership


Under the leadership of Dean David Figlio, Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy (SESP) is passionate about discovering the tools and contexts that unlock creativity, learning, and engagement. Center for Talent Development is at the heart of SESP’s work—developing, testing, and relentlessly improving programs, which spark lifelong learning in tomorrow’s leaders.


Welcome!


old friend, I can’t wait to share what the center has in store for you this summer.

At Center for Talent Development (CTD), we believe giftedness is not a trait, like your eye color or fingerprint, but rather a journey which involves developing potential into achievement. We believe talent can be developed by matching an individual’s interests and aptitude with the right blend of opportunities, experiences, and challenges, coupled with motivation, perseverance, study, and practice.


CTD’s signature Pathways approach is designed to enable high-ability students to develop intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Once a student’s interests and abilities are brought into focus, we offer paths to build confidence and competence, starting in early childhood and continuing through adolescence and adulthood.

It’s not just what we do, it’s also how we do it. Our expert instructors share our vision. We partner with highly trained, well-respected, and enthusiastic teachers who seek to provide the most stimulating ways to explore their content areas. Students come away challenged, with passions stoked, and hungry for more.


We also believe learning is much more than providing books and materials. True understanding of foundational concepts occurs when students apply critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills to real-life situations. By providing learning experiences for students to solve authentic, real-world problems, we offer students a vision for how a particular discipline moves forward and how they might one day contribute. We hope our advanced learners, the future leaders of our world, will successfully adapt to whatever career or life situation they may encounter down the road.
