    I know someone (though not well) who has a child enrolled in an IB program in another state. They've been quite happy with the experience, from what I they've said to me.

    This is a child who is HG and high-achieving.

    I don't think that it would be a great fit for my DD, who tends toward perfectionism and task-avoidance underachievement. It's much more cohesive as a total program when compared with the a la carte offerings via dual enrollment or AP, however, which appeals to me personally.

    Thanks for the feedback! HowlerKarma-- yes, probably depends on the particular kid whether it's a good fit or not. No idea how it will work for my DD3-- she's too young to tell. I'm just curious about other people's experiences. St. Pauli Girl--I just started a new post on this, per your suggestion.

    I think that your one-room school house type set-up is probably the most ideal setting for a PG kid when you don't have full-time HG/PG school options available

    I've long daydreamed about a one-room schoolhouse set-up for both my kids, especially my younger, who doesn't seem to need same-age peers at his level/intensity the way DD does. He's a happy-go- lucky little dude, but his academic needs are up there. He could easily sit on second-grade reading and science classes (well...no writing), a first-grade math class, and K for writing right now, then go off to play with other four-year-olds at recess.
