BEXLEY, Ohio, July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Best College Reviews, a ranking service for American colleges and universities, has released a list of the top 20 summer programs for gifted students.

According to the National Association for Gifted Children, "gifted individuals are those who demonstrate outstanding levels of aptitude (defined as an exceptional ability to reason and learn) or competence (documented performance or achievement in top 10% or rarer) in one or more domains. Domains include any structured area of activity with its own symbol system (e.g., mathematics, music, language) and/or set of sensorimotor skills (e.g., painting, dance, sports)." There are families across the nation who have children who fall into this category, and summer can be a challenging time - there are however, colleges who make summer a time for these gifted individuals to grow, learn and be challenged in unique ways. We have combed the nation to find some of the top summer programs for gifted students hosted at some of the top universities America has to offer.
Nick Plato, the article's author, said this about the list: "There are so many amazing opportunities for high school students during the summer. Our nation's colleges have once again risen to the challenge, and have created some incredibly diverse summer programs that will help create better individuals who will one day become leaders in this nation."
