Hi there - it's that time of year where we have to decide on the school to send our kid this coming September.
We have two options:
1) Neighbourhood school and requesting a grade skip
2) School with gifted program (plus grade skip), but we would have to drive her
She is currently in kindergarten. Her Montessori education is going okay so far. They are letting her read her chapter books (grade 3 level), though she has recently been reading a non fiction book with a lexile measure of 1070L. I am pretty sure by the end of the school year she will have finished up her multiplication curriculum and possibly started basic division. Her geography knowledge is better than most high schoolers.
I feel that no matter which option we take, we will have to do some afterschooling. My husband wants option 2 because at least the class would be filled with bright students who want to learn. We may have fewer advocacy issues at that school. But we wonder if a grade skip at the local school will be sufficient.
Has anyone had to deal with this issue? Any questions i should be asking myself or the school? Thank you as always!
