**Summer**
Dominican University's summer gifted program brochures and applications are currently available online. Dominican’s program is very popular because of its proximity to Oak Park so classes fill up fast.

// Qualification **with** test scores: // You must score in the 90th percentile or above on a nationally-normed standardized test like the ISAT, EXPLORE, or NWEA (MAP Test). You may send in a copy of the official report showing the scores and a signature from a school official is **not** needed. Official ISAT reports are mailed to each family and the official MAP report you should have received at a parent/teacher conference. If you need your child's scores, then you need to print out the application and send it in to school addressed to either your child's classroom teacher or myself. We can look up the scores, record them on the application, sign it and return it to you so you can mail it in with the rest of the application.

// Qualification **without** test scores: // Students who want to participate, but do not have qualifying test scores or have not taken a standardized test before, can apply by Admission Portfolio. To qualify with an Admission Portfolio, students should send in the teacher recommendation form that either their classroom teacher or I can fill out. This will be returned to you in a sealed envelope. If you are requesting a recommendation for your child, make sure that you include the names of the classes your child wants to take. This will better help us evaluate whether your child would be ready for this experience.
