[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to know more about why the pre-K teacher emphatically recommends private school.

There's a difference between gifted, highly gifted, and different gradations that are higher, which could cause private (the right private) to be a better choice for your child.

However, you seem to be saying he is pretty much a "regular kid" socially.

Could you explain more both about what the pre-K teacher said about her reasons for her recommendation, and also more about your son's socializing with his peers?[/quote]

But what private school actually caters to academically advanced kindergarteners? We didn't find one. [/quote]

Meh. Nysmith is in Western Fairfax County, and is quite a haul from where OP lives. And more to the point, by 3rd grade, all the kids I know who attend missed AAP in FCPS. It may be "for the gifted," but there is no score cut off. They have the reputation of being "Nysmyth School for Parents who believe their kids are gifted, despite FCPS assuring them this is not the case."[/quote]
