My son got selected for the Academically Independent curriculum/gifted and talented class in 1st grade . Now he is in second grade . I would like to know if there are any classes in NJ for gifted kids . Any programs like John Hopkins classes or any talent search programs ? I am planning to sign him up for the JHU online class and would like to know about programs in New Jersey . Thanks in advance.

Have you looked into HEROES: http://www.heroesgifted.org/ ?

I saw the above link and thought heroes is for ages 11-15 . My son is in second grade , so if there are any programs for elementary school kids please send me the link .

Since their qualifying test scores include tests for kids as young as age 7, I'm assuming that they have something to offer the younger kids but you're right that it might not be as much.

I'd try contacting them and seeing if they have any suggestions at least.

Thanks . I will call them .
