[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Thanks all, this is super helpful and good to know about MoCo! My DC is actually gifted in verbal skills but does like math and science as well. They would like a place that does project-based learning and deep dives on things like history, literature, science, etc.[/quote]

15:26 MoCo poster again. My 2e son likes the same thing as yours. Please keep in mind that public schools don't do "deep dives" before AP level classes, apart from magnets, and those deep dives may not always be exactly in the areas that interest your child. My daughter was in an elementary magnet and she did have way more interesting and creative projects than my son did in a regular or GT/LD school. My son is now in high school and revels in all the History AP classes that were missing from his life all these years :-) Prior to this, he read everything he could lay his hands on in his areas of interest, and we went to all his favorite museums and exhibitions so often he could recite some labels by heart. My earlier point was that at least the GT/LD schools understand and pay attention to that category of student, which can make all the difference to their school experience. If you want a more interesting curriculum than the general public school one, you must set your sights on magnet schools, or, in your son's case, excellent privates, which, depending on his level of need, may be able to accommodate him. Private schools typically aren't as strong in STEM, but are stronger in writing and humanities in general, so he might thrive in one that understands his needs.[/quote]
