[quote=Anonymous]Get onto the MCCPTA Special Ed and Gifted Ed Facebook pages.  Check out the AEI website https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/enriched.  Locally the non magnet middle schools offer (1) Historical Inquiries in Global Humanities in sixth and seventh, HI in American Studies in eighth. It is more enriched and cohorted for GT kids, except at Takoma MS and Silver Spring which put everyone in the class; (2) accelerated math pathways, (3) foreign language as early as sixth grade (a high school credit course, and (4) a high school tech, engineering or comp sci course in eighth. English supposedly offers some enrichment but many school don’t really do it. Eastern MS does let non magnet students take a Literature elective that is taught by a magnet teacher. I am not sure about Takoma Park.  And in high school your child can get into a high school magnet. The elementary child also can do advanced math starting in fourth grade and the Enriched Literacy Curriculum. Takoma Park is your best option for bright kids if you don’t have a Bethesda budget. DCC kids and Richard Montgomery cluster kids also get allotted seats for hs magnet; Eastern, Takoma Park, MLK and Clemente also get allotted seats for middle school magnet. Also look at elementary schools that have local Centers - the list is on the AEI site. That means they gor a Center just for their school. They may have more flexibility for additional students off cycle. [/quote]
