Giftedness refers to being in the top 1-3% of the population in a particular talent domain. This natural ability needs to be identified and recognized first. Thereafter, this ability can be translated into achievement through providing opportunities to nurture the gifts and coach the gifted child to develop the required psychosocial skills.
Early identification is critical as the first step to nurturing giftedness is to recognize and understand it.
Above-level testing is an internationally accepted practice for identifying gifted students and is used by leading organizations like Northwestern University's CTD and Johns Hopkins CTY. ATS is an above-level test that is 2 grade levels above the child's current grade and is therefore able to show where high-performing students stand with respect to their peers, using objective data. Recognizing the quality of ATS, world-class gifted programs allow ATS scores in their admission process. (Details of which gifted programs recognize ATS scores are shared below)
Recognition of accomplishment can provide encouragement and boost confidence. These include a certificate of merit as well as school notification of participation and medals for the toppers who are in the top 15% of performers in ATS.
