<p>for that age, you are limited – plus, programs in the US cost quite a bit of money.</p>
<p>I would suggest that you check out CTD or CTY or some of the other summer programs for the gifted. The supervision/freetime activities are set up well for that age – but the academic challenge is much more.</p>
<p>I do know that CTD offers an excellent writing class – non-fiction writing honors – which my son took last year. At CTD you can take one class for three weeks, or you can go for two sessions and take two classes.</p>
<p>My son has gone to CTD the past two summers – as a rising 7th graders and as a rising 8th grader. he loved it and had the time of his life – made great friends, played games and had plenty of time to hang out. Lots of asians attend (my son’s roommate each year was an international student from Asia).</p>
