Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth has honored Dr. Phillips' Daniel Minjun Chung as "one of the brightest students in the world," according to a news release.

Chung, a student at Trinity Preparatory School, was honored for his exceptional performance on the ACT, SAT, School and College Ability Test, or similar assessment taken as part of the CTY Talent Search.

The Center for Talented Youth "uses above-grade-level testing to identify advanced students from around the world and provide a clear picture of their academic abilities," according to the release.

Chung has access to the center's rigorous, hands-on day, residential and online courses offered in a variety of subjects. 

"This is not just recognition of students' performance on one test but a testament to their curiosity and capacity for learning," said Amy Lynne Shelton, CTY's executive director. "These students have demonstrated enormous potential, and now we encourage them to seek out experiences and communities that help them challenge and stretch their knowledge, connect with other young scholars, understand diverse perspectives, think critically and pursue their goals confidently."
