The real trouble for us is in his area of interest/expertise - science - they will never provide what he needs and I am not sure what to even advocate for.
This is a tangent.
I still have not solved this adequately for DS10. There are perfectly nice online science courses, but if you want the kid to get lab skills, they are inadequate. Which means you'd be letting him work ahead to no purpose. This is one reason why I am skeptical of leaping ahead in early elementary UNLESS you have a very good plan for what you are going to do next-- because here I have this kid, and no solid place to put him for a variety of reasons.
We are encouraging breadth for now, and can't wait until he ages into the local summer chem with lab course. Been years coming.
