Hi Isa,

My dd goes to a gifted school (about 45 minutes away each way). We have done this for two years and it was definitely the right choice for us.

The drive isn't so bad. We have a lot of heart to heart talks on the way. She can take a nap if she is tired or we just listen to music and be silly. It has been a great bonding opportunity for us.

My point is, choose the school that would be the best fit for your dd. The driving is doable.
