    This is what it's looking like for us:

    DS13 - sophomore public high school (though the new principal said he would support DS taking AP English next year!)

    DS11 & DS9 - 8th & 6th grades at charter middle school with some kind of advanced math accommodation (online? Community College?)

    DS6 - 3rd grader at public elementary school PEGS class (grades 3-5 for IQs above 145)

    LOL.... I'll post an intro, really I will! But I've sat down to type and four times wandered away to do something else, so it might be a few minutes wink

    They have a waiting list every year and usually only admit at age 3. Luckily for us a family with a 4 year old is moving at the end of this school year and a spot opened up. They do give preference to siblings so DD3 (almost 4) will take the spot in September.

    Hooray! I'm glad to hear that the school is working with you.

    Mostly a lurker here, but DS5 will be starting Kindergarten at a private gifted school in September. It is somewhat beyond our financial comfort zone, but we met with the principal of what would have been his public elementary school and didn't walk away feeling that his needs would be met. He is not super mature and skipping him ahead right now doesn't seem like a great option. He will do better socially with kids his own age.

    DD8 is currently in 3rd grade in a Spanish immersion program at a public lab school. DD5 will enter K next year in the same program.

    DD8 - Private HG school - 4th grade with 5/6 grade math.

    Additional Science/Math/Engineering/Technology (STEM) will be available as after/before school elective activities for elementary school grades starting in the fall. We finally got a math specialist for the lower school!!!
