DS7 will be in second grade next year (or possibly third - it has been brought up, but not seriously discussed just yet). He has the opportunity to go to a magnet school for international studies and cultural arts. He LOVES History, and wants to learn to play music - so at least on the surface, it sounds great. But with the focus on international studies and arts, will they put the necessary emphasis on math, reading, etc? I know it sounds like an idiotic question, but I've had so many problems with his current school, and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing for him. I plan on looking into it farther, but wanted some input from people who had experience with this. Is second grade too young to put them into a school that focuses on one particular subject? Any other thoughts on pros and cons would be GREATLY appreciated.
