My son has taken EPGY courses, starting in 1st grade. The courses are excellent, but I agree that they're overpriced. They justify their charges on the basis that they are comparable to what a tutor would charge, but my son has never needed to use the tutor.

I think you should ask your school to pay for it. If they can't offer you anything, they should make the arrangements. And the cost to schools was only 1/2 the cost to individuals, at least a few years ago when I checked.

You might call EPGY (ask for Ray Ravaglia) and ask whether other schools in your area offer it. I know that they are trying to expand their in-school program now, and I believe that he is traveling around the country visiting schools.
