This research aims to explore the potential of students at Tarsisius Vireta High School using a talent classification approach. In the educational context, recognizing and developing students' potential is the key to achieving personal success and positive contributions to society. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through questionnaires given before (Pre Test) and after (Post Test) the seminar given to students. The data obtained becomes evaluation material in determining how much students know the talents each student has.
