Hi, Trinity
Intermediate school in my area is 6-8 grades. I can not say with any certainty that my DS will not continue to be "a fish out of water" but we remain hopeful, and expect larger group of kids to find common interest with.

I have talked the interemdiate school to be open to Algebra in the fall (6th grade) so I will certainly ask for AP early. Do you know of roadblocks to early AP I might prepare to counter?
Thanks for add "semester abroad" this had not occured to anyone I have spoken with and I think is excellent item.

The early college is just starting but I agree, adding traditional HS extracurricular would better round the offering.

Thanks again, Maryann
