I've asked the powers that be at GCS to check on this. I thought some other parents may be interested.

Microsoft extends DreamSpark freebies to high school students

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/04/01/microsoft-extends-dreamspark-fre...

"Microsoft's DreamSpark program, which has been providing a veritable truckload of awesome (and extremely expensive) software to college students for some time, has been expanded so that students in grade 9 through 12 can now take advantage of it as well.

Unlike the university program, student's aren't required to register personally. A school administrator registers and is given product keys which are provided to the students - who can then download the programs by signing in to DreamSpark with their Windows Live IDs.

It's an excellent opportunity for aspiring young developers to get their hands on some quality software at a price that can't be beat."

Details on the program are at https://www.dreamspark.com/
