<p>Thank you for your insight, it really helps to have experienced voices point out things we may be missing. </p>
<p>Our dc is typical 8th grade age (13) with multiple grade skips. Child isn’t especially interested in finishing last 2 years of hs at current school but didn’t gain admittance to bs this year. Likes a sport or two but is on the small side (especially with all the red-shirting). That is one of the things that drew us towards bs in the first place, a chance to participate in all the activities bs offered that current situation doesn’t allow. </p>
<p>We’ve tried many options over the years and none seem to fit anymore. I really fear the underachievement (and loneliness from not having true intellectual and/or age peers) creeping in. The lessened supervision at early college is a huge concern as it would be a boarding situation. I was not aware of the tip you received from Davidson. I was hoping if he started young enough, 14-15 rather than 16-17, it might work for the 4 full years. </p>
<p>I’ve got a lot more exploring to do, it seems.</p>
