PLACE NYC Resource for Parents: Applying to Gifted and Talented Programs 2021

If your child is born in 2016, please consider applying to NYC public school’s Gifted and Talented programs. Application opens on March 8 and runs through April 9.

This is the official NYC Department of Education website on Gifted and Talented Programs: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/enrollment/enroll-grade-by-grade/gifted-and-talented

If you are interested in connecting with families interested in accelerated education, please join our private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/placenyc

What’s new and different this year? There will be no G&T test. Parents may express interest by completing an application. Your child’s PreK teacher or a DOE educator will determine your child’s eligibility. If your child is eligible and there are more kids applying to the program than there are seats, offers will be made by lottery. Sibling priority still applies. This means that if you have another child in the program, you will be given priority over those without kids in the program.
