I have spoken with the dean of students at Einstein Academy in Elgin and plan on taking a tour there sometime this month. We are also looking at Davinci Academy, also in Elgin and the Math & Arts Academy in Des Plaines.

The Schaumburg public schools (district 54) has a magnet program (school within a school) that begins in third grade. We are trying to get accommodations starting in kinder.
