The classes tend to be best when my kids are on the younger end of the age grouping. Class of 7-8 yr olds and my kids just turned 7 etc. Hope the helps! I am very tired of spending money and then finding a poor fit...

She loved it - being away from home with others who enjoyed and valued learning who were very bit as quirky as her improved her self confidence and maturity no end! She loved it so much that she will go to real CTY this year to partake of their 'intense studies' offerings. Last edited by madeinuk; 01/25/17 11:38 AM. Become what you are
