Right now he is happy there so he'll more than likely finish Prek at 4 and then start K and finish that when he is 5.

We started ALEKS at home along with teaching him adult card games. He gets to stay up until 9 reading books as well. He has a ton of games on his computer now.

After he turns 5, the plan gets murky. We don't want him to sit out a year. But all schools throw up a lot of roadblocks for early entrance to 1st for five year olds. We think we can make adjustments now to ensure that any testing does not stop him, ie writing or specific achievement tests.

Our options for him at 5 years include early entrance to 1st at a Tier 1 private, or go into a PG program for a year at a public, then transfer into 2nd at to a Tier 1 private when he is 6. Then he will have options to accelerate for subjects easily in a school that routinely does it all under one roof.

Mr W is very social and extremely popular so he will love the school experience. But to develop fully, he will also need a high level of instruction in math and science that only PHD/MS in Math instructors can offer. This pretty much limits us to just a handful of schools.
