He enjoys his classmates and his teacher but is basically only getting handwriting out of school at this point.

I would make sure to ask extensive questions about acceleration, work submissions, any mandatory online classes, flexibility, teacher support, etc. In our school we can accelerate in math and language arts, but not the other topics which has not been a problem since you can actually substitute activities or supplement as long as you meet objectives and do work submissions IMO smile. I find the curricula rigorous and classical like. There are many reviews on the Well Trained Mind Forums.

Thanks for the pointers. I think I covered all that when I spoke with them extensively this fall but will double check that when I plan for next year. He's progressed significantly just since Oct when I spoke with someone from k12 so I do need to make sure he can still be accomodated in math and language arts. I'm not worried about the rest, we'll supplement or add where needed/desired in science/social studies.
