So, I talked to Davidson's consultant, and we decided to not apply at this time, and wait until we are ready to get him into academics. The application has requirements in academics, as in more formal academics than we would like him to do at this point. Our school does not emphasize academics at this point, and we do not want to emphasize academics at home either, and the K-8 schools in our top list are all play based as well. We will have to look at support elsewhere in the meantime, probably from the parenting lists at our workplace. It might take a few years before we will look into Davidson again, if he is truly highly gifted, as we don't want to change our parenting and schooling philosophy in order to accelerate, but that might be time well spent as well to get to know him better. We hope to find support in this forum too from other parents who also do a lot of hands on projects with the children.
