Elevate Their Summer: UC Berkeley's Affordable Academic Program for Grades K–6 暑假大升級：UC Berkeley 高 CP 值 K-6 學術天賦課程​

Parents of young learners know the value of specialized enrichment. Each summer, UC Berkeley’s Academic Talent Development Program (ATDP) invites curious, motivated students as young as those completing Kindergarten to engage in academically rich coursework in a university-level environment. This is your child's chance to explore a subject in depth, build advanced skills, and gain meaningful academic experience early on.

This non-boarding program is structured into two divisions for students completing grades K through 11, at very friendly cost fro USD 750. The full details and cost for the 2026 program are expected to be released by early January, so stay tuned!

Why ATDP Stands Out? 為什麼參加 ATDP ？

• ​Exceptional Value: At an estimated $750 for three weeks, ATDP offers an intensive, high-level academic experience at a remarkably competitive price for early talent development.​
• Deep Enrichment: Courses are designed for deep knowledge acquisition, allowing young students to become "budding experts" in a chosen topic, focusing on hands-on projects and interactive activities.
• Focus on Learning: This program is specifically designed to challenge and nurture the interests of highly motivated young scholars.
• University Association: Provides the prestige and quality assurance of a program backed by UC Berkeley.
• C/P值超高： 3 週課程預估僅需約 $750 美元，，對於早期天賦開發課程而言，是極具競爭力的價格。以比台灣還便宜的費用，享受加州柏克萊大學的高品質軟硬體設備與教學。
• 深度啟蒙： 課程設計以深度知識獲取為目標，鼓勵年幼學子透過動手實作和互動活動，成為所選主題的「小小專家」。
• 天賦培育： 此計畫專門為激發和培養具備高學習動機的年幼學子而設。
• 國際名校光環： 由 UC Berkeley 支持，保證了課程的品質與嚴謹性。

What Could ATDP Offer?透過 ATDP 可以得到：

• Let your child explore a subject they're passionate about in an immersive, specialized way.
• Nurture their academic confidence and accelerate their learning foundation.
• Allow them to study alongside diverse, bright peers (local and international) who also love learning.
• Help them develop strong study habits and self-discipline—skills that serve beyond the summer.
• 深入探索孩子熱情所在的學科。
• 與來自全球的學生，包括許多本地的美國學生一起學習。
• 培育學術信心，加速學習基礎，提升未來在國際升學的學術履歷。
• 利用三個禮拜養成優秀的自律與學習習慣，受益超越一個夏天。

Application Tip: Start Early! 申請小撇步，建議盡早開始申請！

The application requires a teacher referral form, so we recommend starting your application process well in advance to give your teacher ample time to submit the form before the deadline. Read more about the application requirement on the ATDP website.
由於 ATDP 要求提供師長推薦表格，建議學生與家長務必提早開始申請流程，預留足夠時間給老師完成推薦。您可至官網了解更多 ATDP 申請要求。
