I am hoping for the same thing for my DS7 for next year. I am approaching the limit of what I can pay for myself (for educating a child in a public school LOL), and I am going to try to get the school to pay for CTY courses. According to the person I spoke with at CTY, schools often do buy their courses.

(By the way, we are in a similar situation to you...being seen as "pushy" when we are NOT! DS7 demanded math camp for summer camp this summer...he is the one who insists on doing math workbooks and math online programs...his favorites are taking the tests. An outsider looking in would see pushy parents who want a math whiz for a son, but it is all self-directed!)

I will watch this thread to see what others have experienced with the CTY programs at school. Nan
