Program Information
Center for Gifted Education was established in 1988, the Center for Gifted Education (CFGE) at William & Mary is a learning community that values and fosters the talent development process and optimal functioning of high-ability individuals over their lifespan.
William & Mary’s Saturday Enrichment Programs (SEP) is an academically challenging program with an emphasis on inquiry-based learning for students enrolled in grades K–12. The program is not meant to replace the regular school curriculum; rather, it recognizes the importance of allowing able children to explore additional specialized areas of science, mathematics, humanities, and the arts. Course activities are compatible with the expected achievement of high-ability students at specific grade and age levels. Behaviors fostered by this program include the ability to: apply process skills used in individual fields of inquiry, recognize problems and approaches to problem-solving, understand and appreciate individual differences, and become a self-directed learner.
