We never did EPGY but did SG Maths K-5 and then started AoPS with pre-Algebra.

The classes are intense, I have backed away a bit since DD's AlgI class to give her a break so she is doing a Python class now as some of the questions were hard to solve at the end of a full school day and regular B&M homework.

The classes are online and do involve typing but this has motivated my DD to become a better typist. She really enjoys the period between signing in and the class starting to learn new emoticons and interface with other Mathy kids that she would never have known existed.

Then books are nicely written and my favourite part is their focus on the application of the concepts taught to solve 'real world' problems.

The hand graded feedback has been vital in persuading DD to show her work in a methodical and structured way too, in addition to pointing out things that she had missed.

Overall, I am extremely happy with AoPS and just wish thatmore B&M schools used its curriculum so that my DD could be challenged like that inside regular school hours.
