[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one has mentioned Boys Latin (not far from Gilman).  Great school![/quote]

It wasn’t an omission — Boys Latin is unlikely to provide the rigor op is looking for.   i[/quote]

Updating in 2025 to say my son is twice exceptional like yours (ADHD, no meds & gifted by IQ on WISC). We have advanced his math through the same private tutoring company being used at Bryn Mawr and Gilman twice, which has allowed him to test out of Pre-Algebra & Geometry. He took Algebra I this year and got straight As. He will be part of a small handful of BL middle schoolers taking Algebra 2 in the Upper School as a MS student.

People don't realize some private schools offer unique options for gifted students. Don't discount a school without knowing about it, intimately.

Unsure if Gilman offers these opportunities to gifted students in the MS but I can speak to the academic rigor of Bryn Mawr which is light years ahead of many of the surrounding schools. Gilman/BMS/RPCS share HS classes amongst the three campuses and this is a unique model not available at other private schools. It opens up computer science and language classes to students who would otherwise have to take these classes privately (which is more expensive).

The course offerings at each school is limited and having to take courses at other schools is a large detriment based on your point of view.[/quote]
