Stanford EPGY Open enrollment in public schools

[straighthaircurly]

Does anyone have a gifted child enrolled in the Standard EPGY Open Enrollment courses through their public school? How does the school structure it? Do the kids work on computers during their class time? What is the cost to families if any? Do they use the math course , the reading/writing course or all of them?

Has anyone been involved in getting a school set up to start using these courses?

 Bumping and expanding the question...is anyone using this program with their child? How are you using it...homeschool curriculum, suplement to regular school work, substitute for regular school work, other?

We have been trying to work with the school to provide more differentiation in math but I don't think it is succeeding and I am revisiting the idea of signing DS up for the EPGY math but want to know others experiences.

Sorry you haven't got any responses yet. I have a 7-year-old for whom we looked at it as a homeschool program. She's working at a 6th grade level and people kept mentioning it as the go-to program for math-gifted kids. But it's much more expensive, even at a reduced homeschool rate, than Singapore Primary Math, which is serving her well, so we ended up sticking with that. She loves the portability of Singapore workbooks as she tends to like to do math to kill time when we're travelling, which we do a lot. 

So I can't offer any direct experience, I'm afraid. I think EPGY was much more commonly used in homeschooling circles before Singapore Math became so popular in North America over the past ten years.

Edited to correct: Oops, she's 8 now. Birthday last weekend. Short-term memory loss.

Off-topic.  What Singapore book is she currently in?

5B, though she still has a few things she's mopping up in 5A.
