SNOW Cancellation: The parent information meeting scheduled for Sperreng Middle School this evening, Monday, February 8th, has been cancelled due to anticipated weather conditions. For other parent meetings, please scroll down to the highlighted link.

 

 

Welcome to our 2010 nomination season. For the latest news about our upcoming digital logic course, which will be available to those finishing the second and third year of the program, see the News section under the main menu.

This website contains lots of information about Project MEGSSS and our mathematics programming for talented students. Please browse through the menu, and don't forget to check out our newly posted FAQ for even more details.

  • We generally accept nominations of 5th and 6th grade students from parents and educators, although occasionally we receive nominations from precocious 4th graders and even 7th and 8th graders looking to attend our summer programming. There is no cost to nominate a student.

  • An online nomination form is available in the menu at left. Once nominated, you will be added to our nomination e-mail listing and will also receive "snail mail" information about upcoming parent information meetings. These meetings are designed to allow parents to investigate the program before making a decision about whether to participate in our "above level" mathematics testings.

We offer coursework in advanced mathematics, providing a bridge between elementary math and advanced high school coursework for talented students. Summer and after-school classes are held in 2 locations in St. Louis County, and an in-school program operates during the school year at McKinley Classical Leadership Academy in the St. Louis Public School District.
 
We accept nominations of 5th and 6th grade students from schools and parents through the spring of each school year. After we receive your student's nomination, you will be invited to attend a parent information meeting, where we will answer questions about how the program works.
 
To nominate a student, choose the link at the left. We will confirm all nominations received by e-mail, and a letter of invite will follow during our nomination season, which begins in January.
