[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to learn more about how the class works in practice before making decisions. I went to an elementary gifted program like that, and we effectively were split into two classes, there was a divider in the room to create separate spaces, and the two groups switched between the teachers throughout the day to work on different content (one was math/science-focused, one was language arts/history/social studies-focused). It worked pretty well for us.[/quote] OP here. This is exactly what i'm going in to ask about this afternoon. This is the only possible way i think this works for us. The two privates we are considering are all pretty well regarded on academics but aren't technically gifted, though we have many friends who keep their gifted kids in them in lieu of the public gifted program. Our public system has an extremely rigorous well regarded full time gifted school starting in 2nd grade, and given our son's profile, our specialists all think he would thrive in that starting next year. So whatever school he goes to this year doesn't have to be a forever program -- though obviously it would be wonderful to find a private school now that we loved enough to keep him in long term if we so wanted. Because more choices are always better. [/quote]
