Arcadia Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The annual tuition is $300 more per course than for Maryland. It would wipe out more than half the annual independent study stipend though. Still more choices are always good. "Annual tuition: The annual tuition for each Academic Year Course is paid in 3 installments of $595 each. The installments will be charged during Week 1, Week 13, and Week 25 of each course." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 This is huge for us because Sacha is so social. I really wanted him in the AOPS community, but I wasn't sure how he would take to a text-based course after a few years of live interaction through Athena's. An in-person class with other mathy kids would be amazing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Of course it's on the west side. Becausing putting it inland would just be too easy :laugh: Seriously though, this is really great! Can't wait to see the schedule. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaConquest Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 You guys!!! Sacha got into AoPS Academy!!!! I'm so excited for him. I don't care if I have to flip burgers on weekends, he is going!! So happy to have that kind of mentoring for him. :) 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yay for Sacha! I keep looking at this, but I can't quite swallow the cost. Plus, classes last two hours! Cesca can't sit still and focus for 30 minutes most days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Condessa Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yay! Is he going to be doing Language Arts there, too, or just math? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yay! Is he going to be doing Language Arts there, too, or just math? Just math. We can't afford two of their classes. I really wish they had some financial aid a la CTY. I am sure businesses and alumni would give them money. (Hint to RR, if you are reading this!)

mamakelly Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I wonder if they will take charter school payments? That might help defray some of the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 I wonder if they will take charter school payments? That might help defray some of the cost. Unfortunately, we don't get enough funds for it to be much of a help. We spend a lot of funds on his enrichment classes and consumable books. You don't want to know how much I spent on online classes last year. And now, with me in school as well, it's just a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Did I read that correctly $1785 per course!! Folks in CA must be rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Did I read that correctly $1785 per course!! Folks in CA must be rich. Yes. You read that correctly. We are not rich, to be sure. We spend all our money on the kids' education/activities, at the expense of our own savings/retirement/leisure/vacation. Probably not the best strategy, I realize. I will likely hit up the grandparents to see if they can help some. But, yeah. Like I said, I really wish AoPS had some corporate/alumni sponsorship (a la CTY, where my son had a full scholarship this summer) to fund an endowment for financial aid. I think that many companies and grateful alumni would contribute to assist budding mathematicians of lesser economic means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a foundation, although it doesn't look like it supports the academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in our world that would be RR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 When RR was the keynote speaker for DD's program, a lot of the kids were in full on fan mode. It was cool. When he teaches classes, they're in the biggest room and in high demand. And when he didn't come last summer, there were a lot of dissapointed kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
