<p>I’m sure people here on CC have encountered or heard about intellectually precocious kids. These kids and their families usually have to confront the question- do you go to school with your intellectual peers or with your chronological/social/psychological peers? </p>

<p>This family seems to have solved it nicely- the kid attended high school and college at the same time, graduating from college a month before graduating from high school.</p>

<p>Great story. I wonder if Princeton will allow him to live in a residential college with freshmen his age. An undergraduate milieu with a graduate academic program might be the ideal mix for him.</p>

<p>Love this story! Loving and sensitive adults have worked together. Somehow, the typical HS technicalities (if they existed) have been smoothed over.</p>

<p>This seems to have been about the kid. Fantastic.</p>

<p>Seems to be one of those rare stories where the parents facilitated the child’s natural abilities but were not the moving forces pushing the kid. Nice ending.</p>
