How much time and effort does he put into extracurriculars? DD is already at 10 hours of dance per week. Mandarin and piano. She gets creative since she is composing. She is in a congregated gifted class, but logs on to do her math and basically does her clubs, friend time, swim team, track etc at school. She needs accelerated work to challenge her but she is spending a lot of time being a kid. Dance because it is her thing.
And she has a large creative project that takes time and energy. I made decisions on where to live, because I could, and I wanted a high school that had easily concurrent college classes. Hence, why Toronto. U of T is in the top 20 schools worldwide. And their gifted high school starts in 7 and you can stay in high school while going to college.
