[quote=Anonymous]Most people in the County don't do any academic enrichment. The people posting on this board are more likely to do so for a variety of reasons but we are not the norm. Some folks have kids who love math and are looking for more. Some folks want to give their kids an advantage on college applications by having kids who are further ahead in math then others and better grades.

RSM has different levels of math and is good for a child who needs to shore up foundational material or wants something a bit more challenging but less abstract. The math competition classes are good for more abstract and challenging math but kids have to test into the program.

AoPS has one level only for their in person classes and their streaming classes. The classes expect kids to have strong foundational skills and to learn relatively quickly with little hand holding. Their online program, which is chat based, has some level differentiation but those are along the lines of "AMC8 for kids scoring under 18" and "AMC 8 for kids scoring over 18" or "AMC10 as a whole" and "AMC 10 final 5 questions."  The last 5 questions on the AMC tests are the hardest questions and tend to differentiate the 99th percentile kids from the 95th percentile kids. The class are text based so kids need to be comfortable with that format and have similar expectations about skill level as the in person classes.

No clue about Curie or AoPS LA classes.[/quote]
