Ditto the college prep curriculum at his HS. FOUR years of a foreign language to be competitive for all colleges. Fun electives to enjoy HS. Include music, sports, literature and anything else that appeals to him. Most engineers will have gone to colleges that also include many other types of majors. Let him choose his extracurricular activities that most appeal to him, not ones just to look good on his record. Remember that gifted kids often have time to do a lot (mine did) and often have varied interests.

Above all, let him be a kid. Life is meant to be lived, not just be preparing for the future. You will find your child increasing his role in making decisions and you merely signing off on his choices as the years go by. HS is different than earlier grades as the students mature into making their own decisions with parental guidance sometimes utilized. HE chooses courses that interest him within the college bound parameters- what interests him, not you.
