[quote=Anonymous]Does she not have any interest in accessing the upper level courses that are unique to TJ and the senior labs?  She has done the prerequisites but not getting to the specialized stuff.

I agree that it is great that she is talking to you about this and don’t actually think her plan is bad unless she ends up sitting around doing nothing productive with her year or more off.  Agree study abroad might excite her.  Is she a very self-motivated learner?  She might do cool things at home while being unschooled.  I doubt her base school would be the right place.

What about the Mary Washington early college program?  I feel like I’ve heard some kids do that.  I know other kids have left TJ after 10th and just gone to regular college. I have also heard of at least k e sophomore at a different high school take the GED and leave after 10th.  I believe she had internships lined up.

Oh, I’ve also heard that the Davidson Institute has opened an online high school.  That might work for her.

Good luck to you both.[/quote]
