Coach Bob,
One last thought regarding the educational part of this. Many years ago, we researched the public vs private schools in our area. We're very fortunate that the public schools are very good, as well as the private schools.
Many years ago, we noticed our son's ability to learn was way above average at a young age. Being first time parents, we had nothing to compare him to. So, we met with his teacher and the head guidance councelor. They acknowledged he was very bright, and suggested magnet schools (public k-12) in our county with smaller class sizes, faster pace, and more content. He tested into the program and stuck with it for 10 years. We had to provide transportation, but the education was exceptional and it was our tax dollars at work. My middle son opted to join the same program but he only took part in grades 9-12. The focus of the program for both my son's was pre-engineering and STEM, but there are other disciplines offered in the county. It wouldn't be a bad idea to touch base with the head guidance councelor at your son's school to see what the possibiities are. See what they have to say as there may be options that you don't know about. Best of luck!
