Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Elementary School Your opinions on Montessori for 6+

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but our DS (now tested as PG) was in a Montessori through his kindergarten year (age five). He flourished there, as the teacher was eager to give him and any other advanced students ample resources that were far beyond the primary curriculum (there were others, oddly enough there seemed to be a little cohort of about five boys I'm guessing were at least moderately gifted).

Asking many open-ended questions about their openness to advanced materials for him would be my approach. So much depends on their willingness to truly "follow the child." If they do, it can be great.
