Hello Egghead,
InfoKids is operated by a couple, I forgot their names now, they are very nice and helpful. Yes, EPGY is intended for the gifted child only, so no “repeat”, if you cannot catch up with the progress, or fail in the grade test, you have a chance to re-test, or even stop for a term, and come back for the grade test again. But the lesson content is quite different from those in Hong Kong, you can obtain this information directly from the EPGY website. In grade 1, your child will learn “set”, “empty sets”, “union sets” etc. And, the measuring units are inches, feet, the places, people mentioned in the exercises are all American. In fact, EPGY is a home-study or long-distance learning course, but in HK, as operated by InfoKids, they have Cantonese speaking tutors to run the day course in their venue, but your child has to attend the virtual classes at home too, don’t worry, the Cantonese speaking tutors will be at the other side in Hong Kong, not in Stanford, to give your child another chance to ask questions regarding the weekly assignment. But, your assistance is necessary when your child is still young. I highly recommend your child to take this course if he has got the talent and interest in maths (but, very expensive !!).
But, there are other problems to be considered, according to my daughter’s experience:
1. the EGPY will train your child to get the answer quickly, without showing the steps, as a result, my daughter skipped the necessary steps in her school home work, marks were lost in the test and exam.
2. day dreaming in her normal maths lesson in school, she found the lessons too easy for her.
Yes, the test is so called “Stanford Mathematical Appitude Test”, my daughter said not difficult at all.
Hope that my information is helpful to you.
B+ Mama
