Emerald Tier Advanced Enrichment courses give students opportunities to focus on specific areas of study within a community of like-minded peers. Students delve deep into topics and fields which are not typically a part of the core curriculum at school. Courses place greater emphasis on higher-order thinking, facilitate creativity, and provide exposure to advanced concepts in developmentally appropriate ways. 

Eligibility:

  • 90th percentile or above on a nationally normed, standardized grade-level achievement test, or 
  • Participation in above-grade-level testing through CTD Assessment (formerly NUMATS) or similar program, or
  • Successful completion, within the past two years, of a previous CTD course at the same or higher admission tier and in the qualifying subject area, or
