PeachyDoodle Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It looks as though dd9's standardized test scores this year qualify her for Duke TIP. We're trying to decide if it would be worth it to apply. Does anyone have any experience with TIP as a homeschooler? It looks like many of the courses and camps are quite expensive. Are there other benefits besides these programs? I actually participated in TIP as a public-schooled kid, but all I remember is getting to take the SAT in 7th grade. That, and the brochures advertising cool camps my family couldn't afford... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Their camps and courses are cheaper than CTY JHU if I didn't remember wrongly. Their courses do not have a teacher though, you have to grade your child's work. My 10 year old enjoyed the "Creative Writing: Adventures Through Time" course. There are boarders kids who took the Duke TIP geometry course which is based on the Jurgensen textbook. The application fee is a one time fee and my kids enjoy getting the mailers so if your kid like mail then why not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Bumping to see if others chime in. I am considering a math class as enrichment for my son next year to try them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
