[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This wouldn't help you for next year, but come 6th grade look at St. Anselm's Abbey.  It sounds like it would be a wonderful fit for your son.  We've known a couple of boys who also fit this description who have thrived there.

I'm surprised by the Heights recommendation, unless it was meant to be sarcastic.  It is a good school, but I think not a great fit for a very sensitive GT kid.  [/quote]

Not the PP that recommended the Heights but my sons started at the Heights in the lower grades and it is in no way sarcastic. It is part of the mission of the school and the job of the teacher to ensure that a childs emotional development is addressed.

They have done wonders with both my boys in every aspect.

I sometimes don't mention Heights on this board since the religious/conservative views are not everybody's cup of tea but I am very liberal and very happy that my children go to school there.

I really wasn't knocking the Heights - sorry if it came across that way, it genuinely surprised me as a recommendation.  I've just heard it described as boisterous which seems like a tough fit for a very sensitive boy.  The Heights is a good school.  The boys from our parish that have attended have turned into impressive young men.  None of them would have been described as sensitive though and one was a bit on the rowdy side for our parish school but found the Heights a great fit in terms of giving him more outdoor time to burn energy which let him concentrate better in class (per his mom).

Sorry - I was probably being overly sensitive since people often bash the school.
