Hi Ginny

Is your son currently a freshman? Are there other high schools you can talk to that might be more willing to work with you?
Does your state have a virtual cyber charter school? (that could be free online high school)

We haven't had much success with the high school either, but DS has yet to entertain other options (even though I've presented them to him several times). I'd have to have his buy-in or else it wouldn't work--what does your DS say/want?

I know a boy who enrolled in EPGY high before 13. I think he might have been ten when he started.

I've heard more mixed reviews of the program, but mainly positive things. It is supposed to be VERY rigorous and demanding, some say more difficult in terms of workload than classes at four year colleges.
