World of Wonder

The World of Wonder (WOW) is a series of one week programs for gifted and talented youth. It begins with a family orientation on Sunday followed by classes Monday through Friday.

Students may choose to take one class, two classes, or three classes, or they may spend the whole day with us by registering for our end-of-day recreation option.

History

Since 1983, the Bradley University Institute for Gifted and Talented Youth and its predecessor, the Peoria County Foreign Language Immersion Program, have offered summer educational program opportunities for Central Illinois youth. The Institute's summer program, World of Wonder (WOW), features a broad array of one-week courses, which enables first through eighth grade students to explore and expand their interests and abilities in a university environment.
