We’re excited to announce that major upgrades to CTY’s website, course catalog, family portal, and enrollment processes are coming this fall—all designed to make your experience smarter and better aligned with your family's needs.

📚 Unified Course Catalog

Browse our online, day, and residential courses all in one place with our updated course catalog, which will be filterable by grade level, subject, modality, location, term, and identification level to find your perfect fit. Our course detail pages will feature in-depth descriptions of learning experiences and outcomes, so you can confidently choose courses that fit your child’s interests and learning goals. From diving deep into a favorite topic to exploring a theme across disciplines, to moving at an accelerated pace to preparing for college-style academic challenges, our unified catalog helps every advanced learner plan a clear path forward. All CTY courses are designed to support the CTY Experience, which blends rigorous academics and a novel context or approach with lots of opportunities for our students to join a community of kids who love to learn.

🖥️ New and Improved Family Portal

Our new MyCTY family portal lets you manage all your family’s CTY experiences in one place. Register for testing, enroll in courses, drop or change a course, choose a payment plan, access academic records, and more—all from your family account.

Enrollments will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, so early enrollees will have the best chance of getting their preferred course. And if a course you’re interested in is full, you can join the automated waitlist and be notified right away if a spot becomes available.

Our family portal also allows users to add multiple courses to their shopping cart—including for multiple family members—for a streamlined checkout experience. Returning families will enjoy pre-filled applications, making future enrollments even easier.

This is just the beginning!
