Welcome Peter - So glad you are finding something that works for you daughter - Yippee!
I have to disagree with the above though - so much depends on the kid and the personality - I know gifted kids who don't find kids at their social/emotinal level until they are +3 agemates! I also know kids who are 'playing up'a few years in very competitive sports.
I know adults who hated their gradeskips because they felt too young, and I know adults who hated their gradeskips because the skip wasn't enough!
The more flexible the school system, the better chance of meeting the child's needs - that is certian!
