Mathematics

Gifted students should be able to learn as fast as their abilities allow. CTYOnline's individually paced mathematics program, led by CTY instructors and tailored especially for gifted students, helps them do just that. Students may start at any time during the year and progress at their own pace within their enrollment period.
Your child's instructor will provide guidance and encouragement as the student progresses through the course. Students gain mastery and confidence, learning at a pace that is commensurate with ability. Students and instructors communicate via email, phone, and interactive virtual classrooms. Instructors are trained in the use of technology and are knowledgeable about the best practices in distance education for gifted students.

Quote Example Kids

“At CTY, being surrounded by wonderful, brilliant, funny people, I realized that the unstoppably intellectually passionate were the true wonders of society, not the outliers. And if that passion can be nurtured and uncovered, fantastic things can happen.”
