He is accepted and registered to take Math at the Center for talent development program from North Western University. I like the school he got in for 2nd grade they have been able to teach to his ability so more just looking for external resources to supplement do what I can do over the summer.

Skokie, Naperville, Palatine and in the city. There is also a programthru Northern Illinois University. For that one you need teacher reccomendations.. http://www.nationalyoungscholars.org/index.cfm I believe Quest Academy (Palatine) or The Einstein Academy (Elgin) have summer programs as well hth Sheila

However, it did have a write in the paper about being a good camp,and some gifted kids from the school may be attending and you could get info on their Saturday morning classes. I also live in the nortwestern subs and have been thinking about getting more info on the school for Jr high. www.dvacademy.org Last edited by barbarajean; 06/07/11 05:48 PM.
