Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth: Difference between revisions

The '''Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth''' (also known simply as '''MITY''', pronounced ''mighty'') is an institute that offers [[extracurricular]] options for gifted and talented students. It is based out of [[Saint Paul, Minnesota|Saint Paul]], [[Minnesota]]. Founded in [[1967]], MITY has become relatively large, with three different programs for [[primary education]] and [[secondary education]] students. The three programs, YES (Your Extraordinary Saturday), ExplorSchool, and Expand Your Mind, each deal with a separate age group of students, but often share staff members and class styles. YES deals with students in grades 1-4, and takes place on Saturdays during the normal American school year. Explorschool is offered for students in grades 4-6, and takes place during the summer, with classes being held Monday through Friday over a two week period. Expand Your Mind (which many veteran students refer to simply as MITY, due to its popularity) is offered for students in grades 7-12, and takes place during the summer with classes held Monday through Friday over a similar two-week period.<ref>{{cite web| title =Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth| publisher =Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth| url =http://www.mity.org/| accessdate = 2007-08-12 }}</ref>
