The Duke University Talent Identification Program includes a By-Mail leaming component designed to provide gifted students with challenging courses while they remain in their own school. The results of the Advanced Placement Examinations associated with this component of the Duke Program suggest that By-Mail courses provide intellectual stimulation for brilliant middle school youth, prepare them for college credit exams, and can serve as a vehicle to assist school systems in meeting the educational needs of academically talented youngsters.
