Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY) is a mathematics program for youth displaying gifts in academics. The program is similar to CTY but is based in Stanford University.

Courses

Currently EPGY has 5 Course Topics:

  • Mathematics
  • English
  • Physics
  • Computer Science
  • Music

Course Structure

All of the courses are distance learning courses. In an individually paced cource, each student is given a personal tutor to help with the program. Every program is sent to the student, and the student is to work through the program until completed. In the program, there are a series of lectures and exercises for the student to work on. The tutor provides advice and guidance to the student by e-mail and phone. As it is individually paced, the course may take a few months up to a year. This is the style for math and computer science courses.

English courses take advantage of the Centra Online virtual classroom.

Summer Institutes

EPGY offers summer courses held on the Stanford Campus. More information can be found here
