That's so helpful. Thank you. I was thinking we'd try to do an elective or two over the summer so that she had some extra time for the coursework. Sounds like that may be needed to make sure she stays balanced. Thanks again!

Just saw your post and I’m hoping you can help me think through our fall course choice. Can I ask how much time your son is investing and his age? Our daughter is finishing Honors Bio and wants to take chem as a freshman next year. She loves Bio this year and is looking at a STEM field, but I’m a little nervous about balancing the Advanced Honors Chem with a few other Honors classes/AP. I also saw the Clover Valley Chem (not advanced) that the same teacher offers. Just can’t decide on best fit.

I've been following this board for a while and so appreciate being able to relate to others experiences! While each year brings a little more space between the biggest meltdowns, I'm hoping we're figuring out something to help our 9yr old navigate her emotions. Appreciate the book recommendations.

Hello! I'm still relatively new to the homeschool world and am wondering if anyone has any experience with CTY compared to other math programs. We just completed our first year of homeschooling with our 3rd grader and jumped into CTY math mid year hoping to challenge her more (we started with Singapore and Singapore CM). However, for the cost of CTY courses, I am not certain the course's problem solving and application are as strong as I thought they'd be. I'm considering switching to Beast Academy for some summer work and then looking at AOPS in place of CTY. Anyone else experience something similar? Advice? I want to make sure she's not zipping through without exploring the concepts deeply and am questioning if CTY is worth all the expense or if I should go back to doing the instruction myself with another program. Any advice is much appreciated.
