<p>S got concerned that 8th grade science would be too boring (the 7th grade science teacher told him so). So during the summer, he took the CTY Fast-Paced High School Physics class (equivalent to Honors Physics) which he could do since the had already started studying AP-Calc. He did well in the class and was allowed to audit AP-Physics C at the high school. His k-8 teachers tweaked his schedule so he could go to the high school in the afternoon.</p>
<p>If your child is not quite so accelerated, it may still be possible to ask for some similar accommodation so that the can take science classes at the high school. It would depend on the relative location of the two schools, the flexibility and compatibility of the two sets of schedules and the willingness of teachers to accommodate. Now is a great time to ask, as this is when schools draw up schedules.</p>
