I don't have personal experience with Bowmore Road school, but the co-workers who have kids there in the gifted program like the school. The gifted program has been there for a long time, and the school is just north and west of the Beach area. You can join the Association for Bright Children message board and ask someone there about Bowmore Road.

The TDSB gifted programs do not provide acceleration, but do provide greater depth and breadth and alternative projects. My son likes the pace much better than in the regular classroom. I know some parents who are disappointed with the pace of the math, but most seem to be happy with the other subjects.
