<p>We have twin boys who will be heading into 9th grade in September. We are looking for summer programs in science or math. Ideally would include Physics or Algebra II/Intro to Trig. A number of programs we have looked at seem to be for slightly older students. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Duke Talent Identification Programs TIP - are held all over the country, they are for this age.</p>
<p>Thanks. Would they have to have taken an SAT exam already in order to apply?</p>
<p>It does not appear so. I just googled duke tip and came to a page … it lets you pick your grade, and whether or not you have taken an ACT or sat …then it goes to a page and shows you what programs are available. I believe some of their programs are for certain test scores, so if the kids don’t have them … maybe they can’t take certain courses.
If the link posts …here is what I found … [Duke</a> TIP Summer Programs—Field Studies and Institutes](<a href=“http://www.tip.duke.edu/summer_programs/field_studies.asp]Duke”>http://www.tip.duke.edu/summer_programs/field_studies.asp)</p>
<p>The national association of gifted children has a great search function to find summer programs and other resources. [NAGC</a> - Resource Directory - Resource Directory](<a href=“http://www.nagc.org/resourcedirectory.aspx]NAGC”>http://www.nagc.org/resourcedirectory.aspx)
