This is a great idea Grinity!!

With enough parents with the right backgrounds, you could schedule "lectures" during the week and the kids could show up for the ones they needed.

You could rent class B office space or make use of local university spare classrooms or even get corporations to donate space.

You would need a core group of teachers, but that would be taken care of by tapping charter funds.

Unfortunately here private schools get ZERO funding - not one cent. That's why it's so expensive. The concept of Gifted here has literally been wiped from our vocabularies, it's a taboo topic just about, as the state and everyone scrambles to try and get generations of kids, and adults, basically educated in the aftermath of our history (apartheid etc).

I will look into donations of space and more but I seriously doubt it will be forthcoming unless someone happens to understand gifted and is not tied to too many company policies or politics.
