NYSP

The National Young Scholars Program (NYSP) is specifically designed and created for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students with a history of academic achievement, who even at their young age have demonstrated a high degree of leadership potential.

To meet strict acceptance requirements and to ensure that only the most highly acclaimed individuals attend NYSP, each nominee must be personally selected for nomination by a teacher. Teachers who nominate are instructed to select only those students who can meet the challenge of our advanced academic curriculum and who merit the distinction of a nomination.

The National Center for Early Academic Excellence accepts only the most mature and independent individuals possible to attend NYSP. Young Scholars are all outstanding individuals representing a variety of backgrounds and possessing a broad range of interests and goals, and each contribute to the special strength and character of the program.

The National Young Scholars Program (NYSP) is an interactive and challenging program that unleashes the learning potential within the nation's most promising young scholars.

Students select the Discovery Strand in which they want to participate and are also presented with the Leadership Strand. Strands are developed and designed as fully interactive adventures which take our young scholars far beyond the typical classroom experience and invigorate the natural curiosity that is the gift of childhood.

NYSP offers the six-day residential program which includes overnight accommodations, all meals and 24-hour supervision, or the day-only program, depending on location.

The Program's curriculum was developed by highly-qualified professional educators who for over twenty years have taught, mentored and guided high achieving students of all ages. Dr. Marguerite Regan, a former high school teacher and social science department chairperson currently develops NYSP's innovative educational curricula and programs. Under Dr. Regan's direction, the curriculum provides a unique approach to leadership training.

The National Young Scholars Program is the only one of its kind created exclusively for the high-achieving 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade student. The intensive Discovery Strands give these recognized scholars the opportunity to more fully explore their interests beyond the classroom.

NYSP is created for your child:

• Whose love of education makes learning a pure delight
• Whose eyes light up with the wonderment of nature
• Who is intrigued by architecture or construction
• Who is fascinated by the science of detection or how the human body works
• Who excels at commanding the attention of their peers

Students experience a renaissance of learning and emerge prepared to advance at a pace commensurate with their rare intellect and unique leadership abilities.
