    Hello,
    Does anyone have any experience with the National Academy for the Gifted? It's an online program for HS gifted children.
    Not sure if it's worth the 5k+ tuition.

    I don't have experience with that one - are you currently homeschooling?

    Googling eventually turns up a link between the academy and Mimi Rothschild, who has a bunch of other online academies associated with her name.... makes interesting reading, anyway!

    i do know a family of a PG child who used http://www.k12.com/faqs/general/
    and really enjoyed it for 'emergency homeschooling'

    They eventually moved to be closer to family, and found a local school that was totally committed to the multiple subject acceleration route, but I know that they thought highly of the k12 online school at the time.
