[quote=Anonymous][[b]quote=Anonymous]To 17:43, from a NP: how well can Commonwealth Academy accommodate highly gifted kids, who need a lot of acceleration and differentiation (to work at a faster pace as well as at a higher level)?[/quote][/b] The classes are very small. My DC took two summer courses - three kids to a teacher - one summer was Alegebra II - the second summer it was Pre-Calc - so he could take Calculus and have a grade before college's EA/ED dates on Nov. 1. He's in the Honors diploma program, which not all kids take. When you have 3 to 1 teachers it is almost like private lessons so the teacher can pace the class as fast as she or he wants. During the school years, the high school offers an Honors track in Humanities and an Honors track in STEM. Not all kids are in both or eiither so the classrooms are adjusted to the needs of the children. There is never more than 10 students to a teacher in any class so the teacher can help all with differentiation.[/quote]
