<p>^^^He attended a STEM oriented charter school for grades 7 through 9 where the students are placed into classes based on the results of placement tests rather than purely by grade level. He was able to take high school level courses in math, science, English, and History starting in 7th grade. I was honestly a little skeptical about whether he was learning at the same depth and breadth as he would if he took these courses later in high school, but the school required students to take SAT subject tests as part of the requirement to receive honors designation for some courses. Scoring well on these convinced me that he had learned the material sufficiently. Probably more info than you wanted!</p>
<p>ETA While this presented a great opportunity for him at the time, it has been challenging to find appropriate classes in HS - particularly grades 11 and 12. He is fortunate that the school has been flexible and that he has teachers that are able and willing to work with him on independent studies.</p>
