In considering another school for my DS9, I having been speaking to the admissions person. I had some specific question about academics and being challenged. She said if you are accepted you can get into more specifics then. Acceptance means my son has to go there and take the SCAT test and have a trial day to see about a good fit. It seems like someone would be able to speak about this information before my DS came to visit. Any thoughts on how to get around this?
I spoke to a few parents from this potential school. They are both very please. One parent seemed to imply her daughter was gifted and they give her more work when she is done with her school work. I wonder if they just load her up with work to keep her busy or if it's appropriate work. Another parent said when her daughter shadowed at our school and found they were doing work like this 2 years earlier. If I were to make a change how do I know it will be better for my gifted child?
This potential school would be 20 minutes out of our area. I happen to know of 3 families in our town going there. I don't know any of them very well.
Any suggestion for learning what makes a good fit.
