529 funds for Johns Hopkins CTY summer programs?

With the change to the tax laws, allowing 529 funds to be spent on tuition at K-12 schools, would a tuition payment for the John's Hopkins CTY program be an allowed expenditure? It's accredited by the same organization that accredits our local high school, and PA has clarified that current tax rules allow K-12 costs as valid expenses for state purposes. I'm pretty sure I'm overfunded and using it to pay CTY tuition should be a benefit for me.

I think it depends on whether or not the CTY program is considered by the IRS to be "an eligible elementary or secondary school."

Well yes, that's the question. What qualifies as an eligible elementary or secondary school. Specifically does the accredited Hopkins CTY program?

You should ask the IRS, or talk with a reputable tax preparer.
