Taking to heart the advice in a previous post to not look too far ahead, but to also start researching accreditation and high school classes, I have a few questions.
I noticed both John Hopkins and Stanford offer online high schools which are accredited. Since these are gifted to begin with, why is this not a main path the children on this board take? I can see cost being a big deterrent, but it seems reasonable from a private school standpoint. I also noticed at Stanford specifically, if you are advanced you can choose other college level courses until you reach emotional maturity.
Are the classes just not rigorous enough? Are the college level courses they offer not the same level? I would think these courses would be better than almost anything Pearson put together.
Since the CTY groups the accreditation as 7-12, does that mean a high school level class taken in 7th grade would count toward graduation?
Thanks,
Portia
