OP Isa Member Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 347	Originally Posted by Cathy A I like the idea of the international school. What kinds of provisions do they have for GT kids? Is gradeskipping possible there? This is from their web page: Enrichment The coordinator for enrichment services works with elementary teachers to devise ways to enrich classroom instruction. This exchange might take the form of brainstorming, planning units of study, creating learning centers and activities, or co-teaching the students. Teachers might address their students� differing academic ability with flexible groupings and learning centers or they might compact the curriculum to focus on skills yet to be mastered. Other enriched teaching strategies: presenting the subject at a more complex level, drawing on interdisciplinary studies, clustering highly able students in groups. They do not say anything about gradeskiping.

My friends, who lived in Eindhoven for 2 or 3 years did not have the best experience with the international school there. I will PM you if you want more info. Ania

Grinity Member Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 7,207 Connecticut	Originally Posted by Isa About the international school: it all depends if the GT school opens or not next year. If it opens, it does not make any sense to put DD for the rest of the year in an English speaking school, to go back in September to a Dutch one. As well, the international school has some admision procedure that takes some time, so by the time DD would be admited, the academic year would be finished. But if the GT school doesn't open for next year, won't you be glad you went through the application process? Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com
