[quote=Anonymous]Not a Burgundy parent - but hopefully this comment will be helpful.  A few years back we applied to K assuming that no teacher should be expected to come up with specialized curriculum for our child  (who was into all sorts of "advanced" stuff that other kids were not).  The deal we made with our private was that if our kid finished work early, that they would be able to read books of their choosing (from the class library) or write/draw in their journal, pretty much anything but do an unreasonable amount of work sheets or other busy work.  For kids that know how to behave, this was a simple, effective solution.  That was the only 'accommodation' we received for 9 years.     When we applied for K, we did not choose Burgundy because we were worried that our child needed more structure, but in hindsight - Burgundy would have been a great choice for our inquisitive and motivated child.   Going into HS, DC is a strong student and happy kid.  SSAT scores were great (supposedly, the estimated SAT scores they would qualify DC for any school in the country.......  Point is,  I don't think that DC would not be seen as super gifted, rather he's an eager and inquisitive learner.  Those are the right kids for a school like Burgundy......[/quote]
