[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I think what she’s asking, and what FCPS allows, is starting kindergarten early at a private school and then transferring back to FCPS a few years later.

They will be in the grade by their age. Some people do it if their kid is old and do a “private” year of K and then enroll in K in FCPS the next year. [/quote]

No, this is not typical. People who enroll their kid in private kindergarten earlier than FCPS allows, don’t have their kids do kindergarten again the following year in public. Instead, they have their kid enroll in first grade or, more often second grade, in public 1-2 years later. [/quote]

So you’re saying FCPS would allow 1st grade enrollment despite age?[/quote]

Different poster: No. The child would still be age 5 by September 30. That’s kindergarten enrollment. [/quote]

That's not the question.  You can enroll a child after a few years in private after the child has completed a few grades successfully.  [/quote]

Which private school doesn’t follow state age requirements and has several grades in it?

So now you (general) are saying that a kid can do private k-2 and come into FCPS at 3rd grade despite age?[/quote]

I posted it above. Merritt Academy did this years ago. At least, I think that was the name. The child is 16 now, a senior in high school. Our girls went to preschool together for the age of 3. For 4, mine continued in preschool and she enrolled her daughter in private. Her daughter stayed there until the end of second, when she then transferred into aap for 3rd. Mine has always remained a year behind in school even though the girls share the same birthday month. They both turned 5 in December. [/quote]
