[quote=Anonymous]Besides the morning math and club, plus the Continental Math League problems in later elementary grades, there is some differentiation in class (but not broken up into different classes until 7th) as early as 3rd grade. For the 1 in a million type math superstars (and GDS has had two "lifers" in that category recently, and now a third one coming through) they were quite flexible, one student was taking courses up through BC calc at the high school beginning in 5th or 6th grade  I believe.  Having had kids at GDS and another similar school, GDS had more flexibility for sure, but for real huge choices in school for acceleration big public schools like TJ or Blair will always be able to offer more.  That said, for your more typical excellent math student but not 1 in a million kid, there is plenty of math to challenge them going on at GDS. Once in high school there are many different tracks, and it is nice since pretty easy to move from track to track and have more than one way to get to BC calc in 11th grade or in 12th, less rigid than some other schools where on one track or another beginning in 7th and seems to be very hard to change upwards, less hard to move back.
