Anyone ever done this? (VA/MD/DC locals)
Mar. 23rd, 2007 09:44 amYesterday in the mail we received a letter from the National Young Scholars Program regarding our 2nd daughter T who is 9 years old and in the 3rd grade. She was nominated by her teacher to this program. Academically T is pretty advanced for her age. She reads at a 9th grade level and hits the 97 to 99% for practically all of the standardized tests.
We've looked over the material and it looks interesting, but I don't know anyone who's either been in this program, or had their kid in this program. And it is breathtakingly expensive for a one week camp. I'm torn because I would love to provide her with this opportunity, but we'd have to scratch up a significant amount of $$ to do so, and it's hard to judge when I don't have any frame of reference to compare this too.
Thoughts?
