Sophisticated concepts, my child learned more in 5 days than in 10 months of science in public school. My child enjoyed working with other gifted children interested science. Program targets gifted children, not profoundly gifted children, but my child found it exciting and I think it was worthwhile for that reason. No, it's not college level material, so if you're looking for something very technical, this may not suit your needs.

My son took the course this summer and enjoyed it. He learned in one week what he would learn in months at public school.
