I had thought about having her take the EXPLORE test, but hadn't considered the ACT/SAT. And community college classes? Wow - I really wouldn't have thought about that. I know her writing probably isn't up to that yet, but actually, I wouldn't be surprised if she could handle the content in some of the classes. She is such a sponge

.
Sky - 9 is quite young for ACT/SAT, but it's lovely to establish a paper trail so that you can catch her right when she is ready for CC classes. Have her take the EXPLORE too, just so that you have some documentation that will impress people as well. You can alway try auditing a lecture or two and see if she is ready. Many kids just aren't developed enough to sit well for a CC class, but there are kids who are taking University classes - for credit - and doing really well. I'm hoping you can get her placed roughly as far as what her learning needs really are. Comunity Colleges have many classes that are at a college level, but faster paced.
Enjoy!
