Our two eldest (recently 6 and 8) will be going to a private school that is not officially gifted/talented but seems to work out that way. They group based on ability. When I took my eldest for a visit last October and showed his teacher what he was doing with me at home, she just did the same stuff with him, and also taught him something new.

She told me later that to them, it's only logical that the kids do what they're ready for and that there isn't much point in having them repeat what they already know. Woof---I could have hugged her.
