Identification and Screening Process for Horizons
Students entering YMS may be screened for Horizons services by a parent request, teacher nomination, or student nomination.
In order to ensure both a fair and rigorous screening process, we examine multiple measures, including parent, teacher, and student input, and standardized test scores. Type III candidates will also take the CogAT test.
It’s important to note that nominating your child does not mean you have “signed them up for Horizons.” We screen all nominated children, and provide Horizons services to those who demonstrate a significant need for differentiated academic services.
