oops, didn't realize the confusion - I meant free as in sudbury style (though I would LOVE free education that worked so well for a gifted child, come on now!)

kathrynH, that was my thought too, that since we are already kind of 'unschooling' DS, a free school would work well for gifted kids...including social interaction, different age groups, and child-led education. though sometimes I wonder why I would pay for something like that, when he could essentially do the same thing at home. Maybe for the teachers/resources? I'm not sure. This is why I'm so grateful for this forum.
