Thanks, Cym.
I'm also debating whether to send a 5th grader or wait another year, given the cost, although if the classes are indeed academically challenging, it sounds like it would be an overall great experience. (we were happy with the CTYOnline courses last summer, so that's another option)

For those who sent their kids to CTY Summer, what was the best about it - the classes and learning experience? the residential experience? social?

Any other comments by anyone, would be highly appreciated - especially regarding the actual course learning experience.

thanks so much
