[quote=Anonymous]Any of the big 3 should be fine for your child, if he can get in. These schools do not just take the brightest kids. They take the kids who they believe will be the best fit. There will be a few others in his class with similar abilities and the others will be gifted. You may need to supplement in middle school, but by US the curriculum will be fine, especially in social science and English where the classes are open ended. ( For example, if the class is reading Dickens, he can read an extra novel or two and use all of them in his essays.) He can also learn a couple of languages at these schools. He may wish to study abroad so he can be fluent. Be sure he finds a sport he likes and sticks with it. The most important thing he will learn at these schools is how to socialize and lead. He will need these skills in college and beyond. Good luck![/quote]
