Does anyone have knowledge of any colleges that are friendly toward students with gifted characteristics? Is there such a thing?
I ask because unfortunately it took us years to find the right schooling for our daughter. We went from seeing we had a super bright toddler, to learning about giftedness, to trying traditional private schools, to experiencing the complications of gifted characteristics - all until she crashed in 10th grade! Finally, we found a small private school that she tested into for the gifted and it is a godsend to us all; she is finally happy as a lark again - free to express and be independent and learn the way that fits her mind, and the teachers are all trained in gifted education.
But now I'm nervous that college might become another complicated step on the road to a healthy life. We've learned that Ivy League probably doesn't suit a lot of gifted minds in spite of the academic reputations they have - so, where ARE the colleges that know how to work with these kids?? Are we looking at smaller colleges, perhaps? Health and happiness and a good fit is what we seek for her.
Thank you!
