CTM motivates and supports children and students in reaching their academic dreams

CTM (Center for Talented Minds) is for children and students from about 5 years of age to high school graduation who prefer individual and flexible approach in their studies.  CTM helps them gain English proficiency, respects their learning pace and their passion in exploring subjects they enjoy.

AFCSLS

Our gratitude goes to the American Fund for Czech and Slovak Leadership Studies, which has started and has been supporting CTM programs since the beginning in 2010.  AFCSLS makes it possible for CTM to offer affordable international education for Czech and Slovak children.  CTM is especially thankful to Mr. Martin Herman and his wife Eva for their personal support to CTM.

AFCSLS je nadací českých a slovenských krajanů - Američanů, která podporuje talentované studenty ve své domovině a aktivity CTM.

“Giftedness is a precondition.  It fizzles without motivation and hard work during the formative years. Young people need a system to help them develop their talents to potential.  This is a challenge for all of us with the experience and the influence.  CTM offers such a system.  It is a unique opportunity for students to measure their accomplishments directly with their peers in the rest of the world - through competition to excellence.”

Martin Herman, President of AFCSLS & CTM, is one of the most generous sponsors of CTM

In 2010, Mr. Herman on behalf of AFCSLS approached the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) to launch a talent development program for Czech and Slovak children.  AFCSLS has invested nearly two million dollars in scholarships for CTY summer program and online courses, instructor training, technical and operational support.  CTM has become the extended arm of AFCSLS.
