[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flexible about location, since we're willing to be in MD, DC, or VA.  Looking for the best G&T program (yes, I do have gin and tonics on the brain today) possibilities at the K and 1st grade level.  I know about programs in MoCo and Fairfax for older grades, but we're curious about options at the entry-level stages of elementary.

Thanks for any information.[/quote]

Arlington does pull-outs and will formally identify in 1st (maybe K--my kids got pull-out for reading and math in K but no formal plan). Agree with other posters that you might not want to focus too much on the availability of a formal program at those grades--there is a lot of variation among K and 1 students (some kids enter reading and doing math above grade and some are just starting) so schools have ways to differentiate. We never asked for anything, just assumed they would notice that our kids were above grade level, and both were identified and pulled out very early in the school year.[/quote]
