Welcome! There are lots of great resources and info here. Just wanted to share as a parent of a 5yo son that is PG (Profoundly gifted) that private school is not the only options for highly gifted children. Did your son already receive testing at 2? Just curious because at 2 we knew our son was quite gifted (he was already reading and writing and knew everything for Kindergarten) but we didn't get him tested until he was 4.5 to actually see where he was at. Anyhow, I remember being scared as to what to do for schooling (still have bouts of that sometimes). Especially when I had heard from everyone that he would never make it in a regular school and that he would need to be in a special school. But fast forward a few years and he is in a public school setting (skipped K and doing his own program that is mostly around 4th/5th grade work) and still doing the rest of the stuff with his first grade class. It is going pretty good and he likes school. So just want you know that you never know, some schools can be a good fit. We were pleasantly surprised, because like you we knew that the tuition of a private school was not going to work for us. Good luck! Stick around and look at some of the old threads for more info too. : )
