CTY Bermuda is firmly established as an after-school program offering academic acceleration and enrichment to our students. We take great satisfaction in the fact that many of our students remain with us year after year. We enjoy watching their academic growth with warm pleasure. In addition to our after-school program and annual events, each year we attract and send high quality students to the Johns Hopkins University CTY Summer Programs. Over the past 7 years, we have sent 222 students to summer school at Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth in the USA. In that same time period, we have provided after-school tuition to over 1,700 students at CTY Bermuda. We look back now to the addition to our program of the Math Olympiad in association with the Mathematics Department of Waterloo University in Ontario, Canada. Over 214 students participated this year, and each year the work of the students has become more impressive, indicating that the Math Olympiad is challenging students to achieve more. Over the past 6 years, 1,200 students have participated in the Math Olympiad. We exist for our students and we must constantly adapt to their needs. Show Less
