It is 21k for FT. https://ohs.stanford.edu/admissions/tuition

That's awesome that they allow your younger to enroll in such high level coding camps. I've asked about it around here and always get turned down because Sacha is 'too young.' :(

When I search for Mosdos Press, I get a website called Mouse Ninjas. :(

If Sacha stays on his current trajectory, he would begin AoPS Algebra at age 10. Dragonbox, he did at age 4.

What about a compromise by taking the WTMA's AOPS classes? They go slower than the regular AOPS courses.

What you're doing sounds great. I'd drop AAR if she's already reading well, follow her lead with Singapore, and throw in Story of the World on audio and Handwriting Without Tears. I'd leave science casual and fun -- read, go to the museum, watch documentaries, if she likes them, and play with science kits.

This is how I feel too. I much prefer Whole Foods to Sprouts. The deli and seafood sections at Sprouts are awful.

I don't know anything about First Start French, but you might check out the CAP French for Children videos on You Tube. That might be what you need to get him going.

He got into the camp! (Still waiting to hear about financial aid, though). :hurray:

Congrats to him, and Fight On!

How did you ascertain the quality of the CC's departments?

I vote zoo plus Balboa Park. Enjoy SD!

You can test him, and the scores are good through 6th grade. You'd have to retest in 7th to remain eligible. Sacha is in 2nd, and just tested in the fall. It was pretty painless, except for him not knowing that / meant a fraction. Lol.

Agreed, but I would start with Getting Started With French, and then head into Galore Park. That is how we are proceeding.

Did anyone notice that WTMA added AoPS C&P as a summer course? I love that WTMA has expanded to offer so many courses. If they could just get A-G accreditation, I think my life would be complete.

I would think that an AP stats book would be your best bet, though the counting and probability course has some crossover stats topics.

That gave me a much-needed chuckle as I procrastinate on studying for my stats final. Thank you. :)

I am over the moon ecstatic for your DD, 8. Mazal tov to you both!

Can anyone speak to this?

We did MCT Island in 1st, and it was totally fine. It may actually be somewhat redundant after FLL. I only glanced at FLL once, so I don't remember what all it covers at the various levels. I just remember thinking that it moved really slowly, and wouldn't work for my kid. MCT is definitely more engaging.

Yes, Athena's has live classes. Sacha is an extrovert, and a motormouth, so these are probably better for him. Thanks for the feedback!

Olga, how have you liked the CTY Young Readers classes? I am trying to decide whether to stick with Athena's/OG3, or to venture over to CTY's offerings.

What is the French program?
