<p>Unfortunately due to work schedules I would have to hire someone to stay with him if we homeschooled him unless I quit my job which isnt an option. Also I think he would feel very isolated if we homeschooled him. </p>
<p>We have always considered boarding school an option for high school so for over two years we have been looking at schools. He has visited 6 schools and we have gone to a bunch of boarding school fairs. When he found out his school was closing last year he really wanted to spend 8th grade at a boarding school. He loves art, computers and sports so he was sold on going after the first school we visited. However a lot of my family and friends felt that he was too young and that it was too expensive so I decided to wait till high school. Which I now think was a mistake.</p>
