Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Question for the Group - CTY vs. EPGY for math?

Hi Tracey.
Thanks so much for the detailed info. Makes me pause with my decision.

If anyone else out there has additoinal thoughts/insight/comments, would appreciated to learn of them.

Again, thank you Tracey. (I am not gifted either)

If Money is an issue, DS7 uses EPGY with a home school group. No instructors, but an easy to follow online program. Cost was $135 for the year. This has worked well for DS7. We are also using CTY for summer school this year for Reading and Writing (Not his streangth) the program has been a good fit and challange for him. Lots of writing. We avoided CTY math due to cost, I heard both programs are similar.

Thank you Edwin. Appreciate your reply. We were too late to register our son for Reading - will need to do that in the future.

CTY resells EPGY for math K-6th. They are the same basic program, with different instructors. So the homework might differ slightly and the exams may as well. EPGY also has the Open Enrollment program which is minus the tutors, at a much discounted price. (That is the program I run a group for.) The main difference for most people is that CTY and the EPGY individual program will give you certificates of completion if you would need those. I hope that helps some.

Melissa. Thank you for the information - it does help. I would like to keep my son's math skills up during the summer, if not help him to accelerate a bit.

Again, thank you for your comment
