Discover, experience, and achieve with CTY

Online programs offer tremendous academic value that can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. This is exactly what we have been looking for. My children love the learning environment including both the classes themselves, and also the social programs.

I learned not only about writing, which my instructors made more interesting than I could have ever expected, but also about the value of friendship, kindness, and teamwork. This camp truly changed who I was for the better.

His teacher was amazed after he went to CTY last year. He got straight A’s. He’s going to be in a high honors class, and CTY has helped him prepare for that. He used to be like, ‘Mom I don’t want to do that.’ Now he’s like, ‘Mom, I think I’m ready.'

CTY provides me the opportunity to take advanced classes that are not offered at my school. I like the individually paced option because it gives me the flexibility to balance my regular schoolwork with other activities.

CTY has given Samuel much-needed encouragement and academic inspiration, and opened his eyes to many new opportunities. Each day was like a whole new world.

The instructors are wonderful. They give you feedback on how you can improve, and highlight what you did well. The live sessions are also a place where you can share your work, and sometimes there is a student chat lounge where you can just chat about whatever you want.

The impact my years at CTY have had on me are indescribable. Somewhere between the vast knowledge I gained in class and the unbreakable bonds I formed with other students, I was able to discover and accept who I am.

For our daughter, it was the realization that it’s cool and feminine to want to be a scientist. There’s nothing like 25 girls in a college dorm together taking number theory and astrophysics. At CTY, she feels like she’s ‘among her people.’

CTY is what I have been looking for in school but have never found; a place where I can interact with peers at my level, while still satisfying my need to learn. There truly are others who see the world as a well of knowledge as I do.

The intellectual stimulation provided by the instructor, thought provoking assignments, and comprehensive feedback have collectively ensured that my child has enjoyed every bit of her time with the CTY program.

The CTY Online Programs are an excellent addition to my children's regular academic course work. The convenience of taking high quality courses from virtually any location is a tremendous advantage.

What I love about CTY is that you feel like you're in this bubble of learning and growth surrounded by kids just like you who are just as curious about the world as you are. You make friends and memories that will last you a lifetime.

The teacher and teaching assistant were beyond exceptional. The activities, campus community, and unique CTY customs made him feel like a part of a secret society. They foster and embrace individuality while and cultivating academic excellence. This was a life-changing experience for my son.

CTY has saved our bright kids from boredom, made it possible for our eldest to become an extremely accomplished musician, and helped our youngest continue to be a joyful learner when most educational experiences haven't been challenging enough.

Having instructors who are from all over the country and experience in teaching not only in high school but also college has been invaluable... Taking a CTY class isn't just about getting the grades; it’s about broadening our minds.

The level of academic rigor exceeds anything my daughter has experienced in school to date. In fact, this year she's homeschooling with CTY as her main resource.

Our son loves to learn because of programs like CTY. Enriching curricula and friendly teachers and staff create an open, welcoming atmosphere to explore and grow. Thank you!

My child became self-reliant in learning, taking tests and following timeliness. It helped him build self-confidence while increasing his true knowledge about the subject.
