Abstract

The Costa Rican Scientific Colleges intend to develop the country's intelligence and scientific talent resources. They are public, free and pre-university. Through several harnessing exams in mathematics, science and Spanish they identify each year the seventy brightest ninth-year students and provide them with the opportunity to receive a very strong academic burden in the aforementioned subjects, during the last two years of their middle education. They are not necessarily for gifted students, but for very hard-working, as well as capable students.
