[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids started in a JKLM school and went to Deal.  One of them is now at National Cathedral for high school and the second is starting at Sidwell in 9th in the fall. 
We did the standard JKLM curriculum and then at Deal they were in the advanced math track.  (one was 2 years up in math--Algebra in 7th, the other was a further year up--Algebra in 6th). 
However, outside of math they followed the regular Deal curriculum and found it plenty challenging.  The one at NCS made the transition without a hitch and I expect the second to do the same at Sidwell. 
There are a LOT of very bright kids at Deal (and also at Wilson). Tons.  Your bright (or gifted) kid will not be alone and will be challenged even with the regular curriculum.

This is OP. Thank you for this perspective (actually, thanks everyone for their perspectives). During elementary, did your kids feel challenged and engaged? If my kid were advanced but happy, I would be fine staying the course until Deal, but she's just bored and unhappy...I gotta just get through the next few years. [/quote]
