<p>Marite, From what you have written about your son on other posts, it is obvious that he is extremely advanced in math for his age. My son was not advanced to the same degree but was ahead enough that he was not at all challenged by our school's math curriculum. They do not start grouping the kids for math until eighth grade, when some are selected for Algebra 1 and others take a more slow paced intro to Algebra. We did ask about enrichment/acceleration for him several times when he was in elementary and middle school but I guess we weren't vociferous enough and/or we also weren't aware of the legal requirements for meeting the needs of gifted kids. Our highest class is AB Calculus, which is a senior class, while many school offer Calculus to juniors and teach up to BC level. I am aware that at many high schools, even some which are not known for academics (I am not referring to your school with that remark), it is possible to take classes at local colleges. I have never heard of anyone doing this at our school, and, perhaps it could be possible if someone asked, but it would be very difficult to schedule and I would guess that the student would not be able to take part in sports or other after school activities because of the scheduling problems. I guess a student could take the courses at night, but this would be on top of their high school courses, not instead of. I am glad everything is working out so well for your son - he obviously benefited greatly from the arrangements you and the school were able to make. I must say that I haven't heard any complaints from my son about classes being too easy for him at Stanford :) so I guess things evened out for him in the end!</p>
