DS 10 took a math Cryptography class (self paced) through CTY last summer. It took him the 3 months (minus about 2 weeks of vacation) to complete it, working about 1 hour a day. So if he had worked 2 hours a day, he probably could have done it in 10 weeks. It was self-paced but I know some of their classes are not self-paced, so you will want to be sure of that. The professor checked in with DS, but his help was never needed - although I am sure he would have been easy to reach if needed. It's pricey, but we felt it was a good class and the school seems to take it more seriously than other online programs that we have done. DS has done Thinkwell (which is used by CTY and may be used in the Geometry class) but the CTY name seems to mean more, kwim? DS will likely do the same as your son - take Algebra 1 this year during the school year and then Geometry through CTY over the summer so that he can take Algebra 2 the fall of his 7th grade year.
