My 14 yo is considering applying to Think. His sister enjoyed a course at CTD the summer before starting h.s. and it had a profound effect on her to be with students from around the country (and world) who were just as curious and motivated as she was. She took a psychology course and then scored a 5 on AP psychology as a freshman. She is currently a Rotary exchange student taking a "gap year" before her junior year at a public boarding school for gifted youth. My son is debating between Think, CTD and Concordia language villages. We'll see if he gets into Think and then we will have to decide which is best for him. His sister is hoping to work in Congress as a page this summer. If not, we'll try to find her a volunteer position where she can maintain her Spanish fluency. If I could afford it, I would send them both to Think but, with 6 kids at home, I can not rationalize the expense. On paper our income looks pretty good so we would be unlikely to qualify for financial aid.
