westcoastmom - thanks for such a complete anwser. Those are good questions I could ask. It may be too good to be true. I think they really differentiate but how does it fit for my son is the big question. They recieved a grant to set up the differentiation with a gifted specialist supervising and training the teachers. She is available to help when kids need more challenge. I'm hoping since the principal has 35 years gifted experience he might attract some HG peers for DS. They don't promote the school as being for gifted. They said they have a very challenging curriculum.
I think one thing in question is how much HG experience and how flexible.
I do like the idea of everyone just works at their level so it's not so strange to do something different.
