[quote=Anonymous]We're accepting as well.  Although it was a tough choice, DC is very excited about the accelerated curriculum, the excellent center teachers and peer group.  I understand the decision may be tough for some, particularly where long commutes and a move from a home school are involved.  We are fortunate that the HGC is at our home school, but still worry DC may feel a bit isolated from his current group of friends.  We figure that's what weekends and afterschool activities are for, and we've already met several 4th grade HGC families whose kids have successfully navigated the same issue.  Plus, we are encouraged by the level of integration with the regular program that we heard exists at our school.

Good luck to all facing the decision.  It's undoubtedly a tough one, but we're excited for what the next couple of years have in store for DC, and very happy to see he's excited to tackle the challenge of accelerated work head on.  Sincerely hoping that willingness to take risks, even if they mean he won't always be at the top of the heap, serve him well for the next two years and throughout life.  [/quote]
