[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say Nysmith for k-8.  In US your child's needs can be met by any of the more rigorous big 3 schools - NCS/STA, Sidwell, GDS if they take the most rigorous courses.  All have college level writing programs and can get to post BC mathematics.[/quote]

not in my kids case--DD tried the most rigorous courses in a top 3 and it wasn't nearly enough (she is profoundly gifted). currently homeschooling herself with support from various tutors, including some adjunct college profs who work w her. 
it sucks, actually.[/quote]

Hard to believe that she has moved beyond the uppermost level classes at a school like GDS, where the humanities and social sciences coursework is as open-ended and sophisticated as a student is capable. International Math Olympiad students are able to get math instruction at GDS (and then graduate early for early enrollement a top research university). How is it that a "top 3" program was unable to meet the intellectual needs of your child?[/quote]
