Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Recommended Resources Forming EPGY open enrollment group - any interest?

Hi,
If you are still forming a group, I'd be interested in joining for my 4 yo girl.

Thank you!

Hello Mary,
That is great! Thank you so much. I am sending you an e-mail but I thought I'd also reply here because my e-mails often go straight to people's trash (my address ends in fastmail.fm)

Hi everyone,

Sorry for my slow response - I didn't realize there were so many responses since this forum wasn't forwarding me the replies and I hadn't logged in with all the start of school craziness the last few weeks!

In any case, it looks like we have at least the 8 families minimum that EPGY requires to form a "learning community" and qualify for the discount. I'd like to collect info from you all and submit this form to Stanford to qualify:
http://epgy.stanford.edu/pdf/soe/interest_form_2009.pdf

Please email the following to julie@choey.com:
1) Parent name
2) Zip code
3) Email
4) # of EPGY students (in your family)

Polarbear - here's the link to the required tests for eligibility by age:

I remember seeing the page on minimum test scores but can't find the link either. I'll contact EPGY to try to get that info.

Here's the info on rates:http://epgy.stanford.edu/school/openenroll/tuition
Much cheaper than a per course basis (which ranges most from $495-750). My understanding is that you can take as many courses as you want (self-paced) and it's less expensive since it's up to the parent to work with the child as opposed to an assigned EPGY tutor.

MaryKS - thanks for offering to help lead the group. I'll gather the names and apply for the group discount. I'm sure after that, we'll get a better idea of responsibilities for the administrator. I'm happy to do it but if I need help or it makes sense to break into a separate group, I'll definitely email you.

Please get back to me by next Friday 9/28 - I'll submit the form then.

Thanks!
Julie

Hi Julie,
Thanks for organizing this!!
I just wanted to add that you don't need any test scores for the open enrollment (I don't have a website for reference but that's what Marie from EPGY told me in an e-mail).
Cheers
Stefanie

Good to know, Stefanie! Thanks for letting us know.

I think I'd be interested in this for next year... I'll keep an eye out for a group then.

Hi everyone,

We're just one family short of forming the open enrollment group and qualify for the discount.

Please email me at julie@choey.com asap if you're interested!
1) Parent name
2) Zip code
3) Email
4) # of EPGY students (in your family)

Thanks!
Julie

Count me in please. I send you the info through e-mail couple day ago.

Thanks
Katie

Are you still looking for families or have you already submitted paperwork? I am interested in joining if possible.

Good evening! I'm looking to sign up my DS6 for EPGY open enrollment. Do you know if a group was ever formed from this post?

Thanks in advance for your help.
