[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, CTY summer camp falls in the enrichment category, not supplementation. It doesn't get you ahead in core subjects; it is usually just a fun class that is totally different from what you usually do in school. The camps are mostly a way for kids to meet other kids with similar academic interests. A bully free environment for smart kids to be themselves. You will also find kids from AAP and MD magnets and private schools there. The CTY on line classes can be used as supplementation, but are crazy expensive. I'd only use that for subjects a kid was REALLY into that are not within any school's curriculum at your child's grade level. So neither of these is necessary for a kid to get in the advanced track at DCPS schools (to OP's question); but a kid who already is may enjoy them if you can afford it and the kid wants to do the extra work.[/quote]
