Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy EPGY on-line high school

Does anyone know anything about it other than what's on their website? I remember it was a fairly big deal when it opened but I haven't really heard anything since.

According to the site, they generally only admit students 14 years and older. That seems strange to me since so many much younger children - like many on this board - could really use a resource like an online high school geared to the gifted learner. And why would age matter anyway if it's a virtual school?

I have heard from parents of kids in the program that the classes tend to be more challenging than many college courses. It's VERY work intensive. Their intention is to be a world class high school, and feeder for Stanford University.

I have heard of kids as young as ten taking classes there, though I don't know if they were considered full time students.

hth-

It's for sophomore year and above. I think the idea is if students are not being challenged and offers a wider variety of high level classes than most high schools.

On a CC site there is a father, screen name Tokenadult.
His son take courses through that HS.
Inquire with him.
