[quote=Anonymous]OP, serious question: what private schools do you have in mind? Most are happy, meandering places until about 8th grade. I head Holton can be quite challenging, and I know GDS is for the *self-starters* who are looking for math. Do a search on here for St. Anselms if you have a boy. But overall, the usual suspect schools are rich and deep and interesting and provocative — but not pushy and accelerating in K-8. They're not interchangeable with DCPS or MoCo — my kids spend so much more time writing and public speaking and developing research than my friends' kids in publics in CCDC and Bethesda. their kids are pushed to accelerate in math and take Mandarin and get the special bus to BCC to demonstrate that acceleration. rambling answer summary: "privates" are not a panacea **at this age** if you want pushing and unsolicited challenge.
