[quote=Anonymous]A new question regarding Cap City's upper grades: Does the physical activity component continue in upper grades, and how robust is it? We were in the 200s on the waitlist, so in a way it's all moot. What had sold me the most on Cap City, though, was being told that the physical activity (swimming for the PK/K kids) was designed to push kids--that is, by trying hard at something physical they'd open up to pushing themselves in other ways, too. Do folks find that this actually happens? And does it happen all the way through? My husband & I were both "gifted" kids, doing things way ahead of our peers, but it hasn't made any sort of difference in our lives. Our son seems to be similarly "gifted," but I think that what he actually needs in order to succeed is the ability to challenge himself and not to fear new things. [/quote]
