Another interesting answer on this site regarding GT children.

Depending on your child, a Waldorf school may be ok? The one we looked at started violin with every child in 1st grade and did a lot of hands on activities - art, drawing, etc ... It is a unique philosophy and I sure don't think it would work for every child! Our DS would not be happy here! You are with the same teacher for your entire school experience. Which could be wonderful. Or could be an absolute nightmere depending on the teacher and the child.
