[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew and son are profoundly gifted, 147 and 155 FSIQ  respectively on the WISC.  They both attend charters.  My nephew attends a charter school for the gifted (needs at least 130 IQ for admittance) in another state.  DS attends an immersion language charter in DC.

Nephew is currently ranked in the top ten in the country in chess for his age.  Will be attending the Davidson institute summer program.

DS will be going to China to attend language school in the summer.

Outside enrichment helps.[/quote]

147 is profoundly gifted?

One of mine is a 147. I thought that was highly gifted, not profoundly gifted. Hum...learn something new every day.

My rec is to go into a public AAP program for elementary, supplement interests and passions, and focus most of the energy on socialization and EQ.

You can nourish the "gifts" while developing the areas such as working with others, leadership, teamwork and social skills which are usually not as developed for those kids at the very top intellectually and which will benefit them more as adults.  Focus on bringing up the weak areas instead of the academics. Those will be easy regardless but without well developed EQ odds are good that the "gifts" will be wasted or not reached to their potential.[/quote]

He was accepted at Davidson and will be attending their summer program so that's the criteria I'm using.  My nephew lives in the Midwest.[/quote]
