Did they fire the teacher, throw her in jail and suspend her pension?

Like others have said, it's run by chinese, most of the students are chinese. They do teach a high level of math and english using great teachers from FCPS schools. Great competitive environment. If you have an AAP or academically aggressive kid (since their content runs at least a grade level above), this would be a good place to spend 3-4 weeks in the summer. If on the other hand, you coddle your children and think they will be psychologically damaged if asked to multiple 2-digit numbers during the summer, this is not the camp for you.

FWIW, we are not chinese but our kids loved this place last summer.


Wow..You are a pleasant person.


I know. I get that a lot!

Low IQ ANTI-Asian troll. With the idiocy exhibited by you, I doubt your child could get into AAP even if she had previously worked on an identical test. Too bad she inherited the dumb gene (hopefully she isn't an asshole like you).

Older kids going there are generally very smart and competitive and tends to thrive in an environment like that. Don't send you kids there if they aren't among those who enjoy harder math several grades above thrown at them. Many of these kids revel at the opportunity to compete among themselves to see who can score higher. And, yes, agree with PP they have no time for dumbassess.

Its high pressure and quite stressful for the kid who isn't competitive.

We used them last summer. We found them to be great. Good teachers and academic focus. Older kids though (MS and late ES).
