[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's some highly gifted private school in Herndon, I believe.  It serves K-8.    Kind of far, but it's probably the best one.  I didn't think most DC  private schools had great gifted programs, but not sure.

MCPS HGC program is for the top 2-3% in the county, but it doesn't start until 4th grade.

Fairfax AAP is for the top some say 20%, but not sure about that number. [b] But it starts earlier in the 2nd grade[/b].  Though, if it does serve a wider group, then I would be suspect of the level of the curriculum.[/quote]

Some pullout starts earlier, but the FCPS AAP centers begin in third grade. Those likely would serve your child well, OP. Our kid was in centers all through from third through eighth grades, was engaged and had some very creative teachers. Not every single teacher, every single subject, each year was perfect -- but that's life. Having a peer group of other students who were interested in learning and able to work at a fast pace was good, too.
