I agree, CFK.

I think some places have a lot more options for upper-level work in high school, and that's good to check into. I know some states even have ways for high school students to dually enroll in high school and college, effectively giving kids greater challenge and college credit for free. Those sorts of programs are absolutely worth considering.

I think it is important to note that there's no wrong answer about going back to school or homeschooling all the way through. Either is possible, depending upon the specifics of the situation. I don't think that homeschooling in and of itself necessarily rules any option out. However, what happens between now and then might rule some options out along the way. You just can't predict that until you're there. I think it's hard to know what any HG+ child will need years ahead of time, homeschooled or not.

I can say for our part that we're moving through things much faster than I was expecting to, and there's no way DS8 could return to elementary school. The private GT school in town is a possibility, but I'm not sure. We'll see...
