We are lucky enough to have a co-op in our area that is specifically for HG+ kids. The classes tend to be deep and open ended. And it's been a great social mix for my DS8. But if I had (or find) other options closer to home I would use them. Even if they were just social. (It's about 1/2 hour drive for us. We're in the city so that is a drive for us).
Explore all the options. I've found that the best possible scenario is when there are good social opportunities for me AND the kids. We had some families leave our co-op for this fall and I wasn't around co-op as much last year because my daughter was attending preschool. I feel like we're kind of starting over to see how co-op clicks this year. My DD5 is also taking a class too, so we'll see how it works for her.
