What Parent Association for Gifted Education, Inc. (PAGE) The Super Saturday Program does

Parent Association for Gifted Education, Inc. (PAGE), operating as The Super Saturday Program (TSSP), is a Cincinnati-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1981 that runs Saturday enrichment classes for intellectually gifted children ages 4 to 14 in the Greater Cincinnati Area. The program delivers three six-Saturday terms per year (fall, winter, spring) of hands-on classes spanning STEM, robotics, humanities, arts, and executive functioning support, plus competitive teams in app development, chess, math, robotics (FLL, VEX IQ, VEX V5), rocketry (American Rocketry Challenge), and quiz (Ohio Academic Competition, NAQT). Adjacent offerings include Gifted Community Enrichment sessions for parents/guardians, teen community service roles for ages 13-18, and a curated reading list with a Bookshop.org affiliate channel. There are no paid staff; operations are run by a roughly 15-person all-volunteer board of trustees and additional parent/guardian volunteers.

The program operates without proprietary technology; its technical footprint consists of consumer-grade educational kits (LEGO Mindstorms, VEX platforms) and standard classroom tools, with a separate teacher portal at teachers.supersaturday.org. Since fall 2022, classes have been hosted at DePaul Cristo Rey High School in central Cincinnati under a venue-exchange partnership in which PAGE covers all expenses incurred at the host site. The organization distributes its services in person (with a one-year online adaptation during 2020-21) and reaches prospective families primarily through word-of-mouth, referrals from local gifted-education organizations (Sycamore GEAR, Cincinnati Area Mensa Gifted Youth Program, Hamilton County ESC, OAGC), community events such as the Queen City Classic Chess Tournament, and modest social media presence across Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

Revenue is generated from term registration fees, optional team participation fees, donations, and sponsorships from local organizations including Cincinnati Area Mensa, The Amend Group, Vistage, and Cincinnati Country Day School; the organization also receives programmatic grants such as Google funding routed through the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The program reports serving over 300 families and nearly 400 students each school year and a 98% parent recommendation rate, supported by forty-plus years of continuous operation in the Cincinnati market.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY): CTY is a large, established provider of enrichment, summer, and online programs for academically talented pre-K through 12th-grade students. It is comparable as the dominant incumbent in talent identification and enrichment that TSSP competes with at the regional/peripheral level for gifted families seeking Saturday-style programming.
• Duke Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP): Duke TIP identifies academically talented students and offers enrichment programs, ePGPs, and competitions. It is comparable as a national-scale gifted-enrichment incumbent whose program structure (weekend/summer enrichment, talent searches, competitions) parallels TSSP's class-and-team model.

Direct peers

• Davidson Institute for Talent Development: The Davidson Institute serves profoundly and highly gifted youth through online courses, mentorships, the Young Scholars program, and gifted-family resources. It is comparable because it targets the same intellectually gifted 4-18 student population with non-school enrichment, family/community support, and parent education resources.
• Belin-Blank International Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development: Belin-Blank is a university-based center offering summer and Saturday programming, talent searches, and the Iowa Acceleration Scale for gifted identification. It is a direct peer because it operates a similar mix of enrichment classes, acceleration support, and parent/community resources anchored in a specific region.
• Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG): SIG runs residential and day summer programs for gifted students ages 5-17 with multi-disciplinary coursework and team activities. It is comparable as a gifted-only enrichment provider whose curriculum breadth (STEM, arts, humanities) and team/competition components mirror TSSP's Saturday enrichment and competitive teams.
• Northwestern Center for Talent Development (CTD): CTD offers Saturday, summer, and online enrichment, talent searches, and acceleration programs for gifted K-12 students. It is a direct peer because its Saturday-enrichment + competitive-academics mix closely mirrors TSSP's classes-and-teams model and its acceleration/gifted-family resources parallel TSSP's parent programming.
• Cincinnati Area Mensa Gifted Youth Program: Cincinnati Area Mensa runs a local Gifted Youth Program that overlaps directly with TSSP in audience (gifted children in Greater Cincinnati) and through shared coordinators such as Maggie Gunnerson. It is comparable because it offers parallel enrichment, recognition, and family programming for gifted youth in the same regional footprint.

Emerging players

• Art of Problem Solving (AoPS): AoPS provides online math contest preparation, textbooks, and courses for advanced learners including the MATHCOUNTS/AMC community. It is comparable because AoPS's MATHCOUNTS/AMC and MathWorks Modeling Challenge-style offerings directly overlap with TSSP's math competition team, and both serve families seeking enrichment beyond standard school math.

Others

• Ohio Association for Gifted Children (OAGC): OAGC is the Ohio state affiliate that advocates for gifted education and recognizes educators and parents. It is comparable because OAGC is a referral and recognition partner for TSSP (Stephanie Bruner received OAGC's Parent of the Year in 2014) and serves the same gifted-family community with resources and advocacy.
• National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC): NAGC is the national membership organization advancing the needs of high-ability learners through advocacy, research, and the annual conference. It is comparable as the industry body whose annual conference featured TSSP-affiliated leadership and which shapes the policy context (Ohio gifted rule, 2e definitions) that TSSP navigates.
