Dipont offers special programs for high achieving learners.
Gifted and talented enrichment programs combine advanced courses
with cultural, social, and recreational opportunities, and
provides gifted students with academic challenges designed to
fit their abilities and interests. Through their common studies
and daily life, students have the opportunity to make friends
with others who share similar abilities and interests.
Dipont offers Chinese academically talented students the
opportunity to attend the Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG)
in the United States. Founded in 1984, the SIG program only
accepts US students at the top five percent in their class to
meet the qualification of SIG; other ten percent students who
are from the rest of the world also have to pass strict
examination and selection. The SIG Program is offered in July
and August. Different from other summer programs, SIG, based in
well-equipped American top university campuses, provides
academically advanced students with an outstanding and
challenging educational experience. SIG campuses include:
Amherst College, Bryn Mawr College, Emory University, Princeton
University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan,
University of Texas at Austin, Vassar College. When applying for
universities in US, students often refer their SIG experience on
their resume as a valuable personal resource.
