Oops, I think you were clear that you were referring to CITY/CBK - I just read too fast.

I would be interested in hearing you opinion though about CITY/CBK. I was indeed considered about the "engagement level", and we would have to fly her out, so the program would have to be great.

I think this year, we will just stay in town and try on-line courses through JHU CTY instead (writing courses). Both DDs have done the Literature classes through online CTY the past summers and really enjoyed those.

Maybe we will consider TIP/CTY the following summer. My DD really "grew" while she was away, I think it is a great experience for the kids. However, both DDs are serious year-around swimmers, so it's hard for them to get away for so long in the middle of the summer season.
