Kindergarten Gifted and Talented Application

The application for Kindergarten Gifted & Talented (G&T) programs is now open, and the deadline to apply is April 9, 2021. Interested families can apply in one of three ways:

  • Online at MySchools.nyc

  • Through a Family Welcome Center

  • By phone at 718-935-2009

For children entering G&T programs in fall 2021, offers will be made differently this year. We will not be administering a G&T test. Instead, families and educators will help identify students for accelerated learning.

Sign up for our Gifted & Talented email list. We will send you updates and reminders throughout the admissions process.


Who can apply?

All families with children born in 2016 who live in New York City — including those who have temporarily relocated due to the COVID-19 pandemic — can apply now to enter G&T programs in fall 2021.

We encourage all NYC families with children of this age to apply, including current pre-K public district or charter school students, private or parochial school students, and children who are new to NYC schools. All G&T programs are expected to welcome and support all students including children with accessibility needs, children with disabilities, children who speak a language other than English, and children in temporary housing. All families, regardless of immigration status, are welcome and encouraged to apply.
