are there many gifted schools working on acceleration models? we left a school (private gifted) that had all students 1 yr ahead then would differentiate for math & reading. THe program ended after 9th grade and the kids went off to what ever HS to take AP classes etc.

Now I am in a similar public gifted. They are not as ready to differentiate but do it when there is a real need (ie My DS and math) They prefer to keep the kids on the 1-yr-ahead track.

I really had trouble finding a good school on the east coast that could meet his needs. I think what Davidson does can't be beat and we are still tempted to pick up and move west. We are going to see how this 2nd year here goes before making any decisions.

It's a tough one. I have one kid that is great with enrichment, the other needs acceleration. they make me dizzy sometimes! lol
