I called the Bowmore school in east Toronto (Beach) and spoke to the principal last week. The "gifted" program starts in 4th grade but it isn't accelerated. Different taxonomy in teaching the curriculum etc, etc.

She said you have to get an evaluation to get accelerated and very hard. Even to get into this school. -- probably better than our citywide OLSAT and lottery of all the 99th percentile scores for the seats available.
