What is the Centre for the Talented Youth of Ireland (CTYI)?

The Centre for the Talented Youth of Ireland (CTYI) is a youth programme for students between the ages of six and sixteen of high academic ability (generally scoring at the 95th percentile on assessment tests for 6-13 year olds and 97th percentile for 12-16 year olds) in Ireland.

There are sibling projects around the world, most notably the CTY programme at Johns Hopkins University, the original model for CTYI.

Colm O'Reilly has been its director since 2005. The centre offers various courses for gifted students as well as conducting research and promoting the needs of the talented in Ireland.

The key people involved in the CTYI program include Colm O'Reilly, Eleanor Cooke and Catriona Fitzgerald.
