And there is a lot to be said for being in a strong academic peer group, especially with teachers and counseling staff with lots of experience in supporting the emotional needs of the gifted.[/quote]

OP here.  One of my fears is that he will NOT be with teachers and a counselor who have any experience with gifted kids.  He's being moved to a brand new, as yet un-staffed AAP center.  Our base administration and counselor know our family well and that feels more reassuring.  However, I also hear what others of you are saying about an older kid remaining with his peer group for the next 2 years, and keeping my high-strung nerdy kid with his group.  the change to a new place might be enough without the strain of a new peer group too.

Thanks for the suggestions!  This is food food for thought.[/quote]
