In 1972, Dr. Julian Stanley (1918 - August 12, 2005), a psychology professor at Johns Hopkins University, introduced the first talent search designed to identify, challenge, and reward academically able young people. Since 1979, CTY has expanded to offer a wide range of academic opportunities and to conduct research, disseminate information, consult with educational organizations, advocate public policy initiatives, and offer diagnostic and counseling services.

Over the years, participation has also grown greatly. By 1992, some 6,000 students were enrolled in CTY summer programs at a dozen sites throughout the United States and overseas. In 2000, more than 90,000 students participated in CTY's Talent Search. 9,000 students enrolled in CTY summer programs. 2,500 took a CTY distance learning course, and 8,000 students and parents participated in CTY's one-day conferences.

In 1997, Dr. Lea Ybarra was appointed Executive Director of The Center for Talented Youth.

CTY has established a broad network and continues to work with students, families, teachers, school districts, government agencies, for-profit and non-profit corporations, and others to identify and nurture academic talent at the pre-collegiate level.

To date, CTY has identified nearly one million students and has served over 100,000 students through its programs.
