Another option that we've been exploring in our parochial school is subject advancement for our PG son. It really took one teacher taking him under her wing -- and suddenly doors started opening. Now he's attending classes 3 grade levels ahead of where he'd typically be in math and literature, but still at grade level for history, sociology, religion and writing. This keeps him socially w/ his friends, but keeps him at least a little more academically challenged. My DH and I were prepared to fight for what he needed, but apparently the school had had inter-departmental mtgs about him w/out our knowing and determined that the drive for tougher academics was coming from him and not his parents. Therefore, they decided to pilot this program to accommodate him. He'll start this Fall....we'll see!
