Not focused on, but they can handle both support and acceleration.

There’s really not any school that is *focused* on 2e. There are a number of schools that specialize in one or more types of ND, but many of those cannot challenge a gifted child.

It depends to a degree what the “2” is and what kind of support is needed. [/quote]
Just continuing my own train of thought, depending on what your kid needs, you might be best served by finding a school that can support and possibly remediate (depending on the diagnosis) whatever the ND is, and supplement with outside math and science enrichment.

For our 2e (dyslexia, mild ADHD), a Montessori environment that allowed for pullouts with an O-G reading specialist for the early years (to 5th) and then a mainstream school with an excellent academic center was a very successful route.  [/quote]

Can you kindly let me know what that mainstream school with an excellent academic center was? [/quote]
Congressional. It’s in VA and the director has changed since my DC was there, so our experience may be out of date, but for those in NoVA I highly recommend it. Not great for MoCo though, sorry. [/quote]
