A Passion for Learning: The Theory and Practice of Optimal Match at the University of Washington

Kathleen D. Noble and Sarah A. childers

Early entrance from secondary school to university is a rare but highly effective educational strategy for many gifted students who have outpaced the educational possibilities available at the middle, junior, and senior high school level. This study explored the academic, social, and emotional aspects of early entrance through the experiences of 102 accelerated students who entered the University of Washington through two different programs: the Early Entrance Program for students prior to age 15, and the UW Academy for Young Scholars for students after grade 10. Implications for early entrance programs for students of different ages are proposed.
