My 2 daughters were there last 6 months. They don't enjoy. May be we were from International school, we don't get use of their spoon feed method. So we decided not continue coming month.
There are few web site which is also interesting, call educationcity.com, mathletics.com, BBC.com etc..

我姨甥仔讀咗幾年，佢好鐘意，D數好難，而家學緊微積分，對佢最鐘意嘅phy好有幫助。我有朋友大學讀數，話EPGY嘅內容着重概念和思維邏輯，是邁向大學數學的好課程，比奧數的巧算訓練更正統，可惜EPGY課程都幾貴，值唔值得就見人見智喇。

My son was there five years ago. It's fun and eye-opening experience for him.

If you have time take a holiday with him before or after the camp in Bay Area. Visit Tech Museum in San Jose, very interesting; NASA Explorer Research Centre, Intel Museum.........

You can ask EPGY can they link you with other candidates.

My son took the flight by himself, it's great experience and train up his independence. You can book the arrangement with the airline as unattended. EPGY will pick him up in the airport.

My son was eleven, five years ago and he studied in a local primary school, not IS. His English standard was not as good as IS students, but better than Chan Yik Hei (He was F5 and also in Stanford in another program.) .

I don't know your son's English standard, my son got merits in KET & PET at P3 & P4 respectively, you can refer this as benchmark.

If my memory not fool me, each class 20 students, one teacher (PhD student) and three assistants (Postgraduates), around 5:1.

My son attended the "Creative Problem Solving" program.

The program was not focus on calculation and formula, but addressed more on think out of the box, creativity...... E.g. even their games in the afternoon were interesting to me and my boy, use NBA rules to play Soccer ..... not traditional program....

Can I have more information about the summer camp? Where will it take place? What's the content? How about the fee?

My son's been doing EPGY math for almost 3 years now. He's doing it online by himself without going to Infokid. He's now doing Grade 8 EPGY math. Would he be put into the appreciate level math camp for the summer camp?

No need apply through Infokid, they are not helpful. Go to website and apply on-line.

In case you have question, write a email to EPGY.
