Will Nature Academy let you and your son sit through their classes for a day? That would give Wolf some data to form his own opinion about which school he likes better. It would also give you a chance to check out the structure and curriculum questions. You might even be able to speak to a teacher or two after school to explain that your son is a little unique and ask how the school would support him?

For us, it is the flexibility of the school that matters in handling a unique kid. If the teachers or other students are very rigid in their thinking or not very accepting to differences, then it tends to be a bad fit. That is just something that you can't determine without seeing a class or two. Maybe this applies more to us since we have a 2E kid who does not blend in very well at all!

Wishing you the best of luck! I know that the prospect of changing schools for an unknown is stressful. You just need to gather as much data as you can and hope for the best. We changed schools last year, and it was the best move we could make.
