If you are looking for a writing course, my dd11 is taking the CTY Flexi-pace "Process of Writing" course which is expensive but well worth the $$. Her writing has improved, but, more importantly, her mood is lighter and she enjoys interacting with the teacher via email. She feels she is finally being challenged in this course which is advertised as being taught at the 11th grade level.
She usually waits until the last minute to finish her homework, but with this class, she has turned in every assignment early!
The course appears to have been designed by the teacher, who provides specific praise and recommendations.
I think the 11th grade part comes in with the instructions for each assignment being several pages long in different places, so be aware there is a LOT of reading involved. But that is what makes it an interesting course. You can view a sample assignment on the CTY website and I think you'll see what I mean.
