Who are the mentors and they and how are they selected for the Apprenticeship Program?
The mentors for the Apprenticeship program are a group of highly achieved experts in their specific fields. We select mentors who share the same ideals and missions of the Institute for Educational Advancement and who are able to share up to three consecutive weeks of their summer with gifted students. During the interview process mentors must demonstrate an interest and understanding of gifted education, the ability to work with youth and a passion for educating students in their area of expertise.
