Subject: My fast-learner experience:
While my son was struggling to find things of interest at his elementary
and middle school in Cambridge, we discovered the HSSP Program Program (High School
Studies Program) that runs for 10 weeks in the Spring and the Summer.
They have mostly MIT undergraduates and some faculty members
teaching a wide range of courses from Boolean logic to genetics, and
the children seem to love it as they finally find courses that are intellectually
stimulating and are taught with a lot of energy.

[The writer also noted the PROMYS program at Boston University and
Mathforum at Northeastern University. While PROMYS accepts only high school
children, Mathforum has groups for several age and ability ranges, Banerjee
said. You'll find more on the MIT program for bright middle-school and high
school students on our e-link library page.]
