The Schilling School for Gifted Children is a K-12 private school for gifted and talented students located in Cincinnati, Ohio and was founded by Dr. Sandra Kelly Schilling in 1997. The school employs an accelerated curriculum, and classes are formed according to student ability, as opposed to grade level.
It was named in Cincinnati Magazine's August 2007 edition as the second best private school in the greater Cincinnati area.
The faculty is composed of gifted adults who are experienced teachers, subject specialists, and practitioners in their fields of expertise, many of whom are currently teaching at local universities. 42% percent of the staff have doctorates.
Students must have an IQ of at least 130 for admission. The Schilling School has the highest average SAT score among Greater Cincinnati public and private high schools (Cincinnati Magazine – April 2003). 67% of the students have IQ's between 130 and 144, and 33% are between 145 and 200.[1] Approximately 10% of the students belong to a minority.
