Welcome, Lilac Wine (beautiful name, by the way! Does anything smell better than lilacs??)

I just got here myself and don't have anything to contribute to a school choice query (we've homeschooled from the start for various reasons, one of which is the fact that my husband works shifts, and we wanted to maximize possible family time); but I'm sure you'll find lots of good advice from the wonderful people here. This is by far the kindest, most courteous, most supportive forum, on any subject, I've ever visited. We're glad you're here!

Your daughter sounds terrific! What fun to be so interested in languages, and science, too. I wouldn't worry right now about reading and math (though I'm sure the testing was a good idea, so that you could see for sure what's happening if you're concerned); a wise friend once said to me that childhood was a journey and not a race--maybe the reading and arithmetic parts of her brain are otherwise occupied with soaking up information about Russian and viruses (or Russian viruses?) right now! I've found with at least two of my kids that after periods that look like not much progress on some particular front, there comes a great big leap forward in ability.

Welcome!

peace
