2008 IAG Program Guide to Enrichment and/or Gifted Programs

 in Indiana and Beyond, Grades K-12

 

Updated by Jill H. Meisenheimer June, 2008

 

The 2008 IAG Guide to Programs has been compiled as a service to members of IAG.  Inclusion of a program in this guide does not imply endorsement by IAG. We are in the process of updating this information.  Every year colleges, universities, schools and other groups plan programs that offer enriched and/or accelerated experiences for children and youth. We encourage teachers, parents and students to check out the web sites listed below for up-to-date information and to contact the program for current information.  If you know of an exciting and challenging summer program that would appeal to high ability youth from preschool through grade 12 please share that information with Jill, jmeisenheimer@indy.rr.com.

 

Latest verification dates are highlighted at the end of each entry; i.e., (6/08)
