Hmmm I am still new to the forums, but I was going to give my energetic and standard answer of "Nice, France" of course!!

But... I don't know about educational opportunities there for gifted kids. I'd just love the experience of not focusing on that for a while and instead, just having the focus be on living abroad, with all of that language, culture and lifestyle learning.

We just switched from private to public school and most of the schools I know of in our area require residency even if its not called a residency requirement because they won't accept testing from other districts and they wont DO testing until you are IN the district. meaning you have to be IN their district long enough to request testing, be tested and get results before you get the "choice seats."

IMO its really really tough and makes moving for a program (or moving back into a program) unnecessarily difficult.
