[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if someplace like Nysmith or Feynman would work?  It sounds like she does have some challenges with socials skills, which you are working to address, but I wonder if she'd do better in group work with peers who are academically/intellectually at her level?  Is she very high IQ?  Those at the highest end of the IQ spectrum often do seem to struggle a bit socially. [/quote]

She’s very high IQ. Someone else recommended Feynman. We might go take a look. Nysmith maybe too.[/quote]

Might also be worth exploring the gifted or a magnet program at your local public.  Based on your other post and her doing well working as a teammate in sports and other non-academic area- it really does sound like she might do better at school with other highly-gifted kids.[/quote]

Just chiming in as a parent whose child has a low frustration threshold for group work and attends a public school magnet. There is so much more group work at the magnet than at our home school. Even highly gifted kids can be lazy, or procrastinate, or just decide to slack on a particularly project. Or, honestly, just have a different vision for how the project should go. So, while I think overall the magnet programs are often a great fit and parents should consider them alongside private schools, OP should go in with their eyes open about that element of the program.
