![]() YRDSB has gifted program from grade 4 to highschool for students who are determined to be gifted by a screening committee who takes into account much more than just an iq test. They're definitely not worth the money or the education curricular. I wouldn't touch any of these privately run schools in Ontario. Some are fooled by the buzz words and fascade. They take on these crappy jobs (working for horribly run private schools, with very demanding clients (parents) who honesty think they're paying for their child's best higher learning. Private schools attract and end up hiring fresh out of grad school "teachers" they're underpaid, overworked, have no job security, and have no experience. These are basic elements that can be done in a public school system.īe very aware/concerned of the standard, what makes a learning facility "gifted" speaking from very close experiences, those they hire aren't exceptional. I've read a lot of information regarding "gifted programs", and they always go back to the science based fact that these programs aren't beneficial.Ĭhildren learn best side by side to their peers.Īt 5 years old, as a parent, I'd be concentrating on my young child's social skills, focus & concentration. We are open to the idea of moving back to Richmond Hill/Markham just for my son's education reason. In San Francisco area there aren't that many school tailored for gifted children and I was delighted to be able to find quite a few schools in Markham/Richmond Hill area that are for gifted children. Because we recently found out our son is gifted (we had him tested due to all his bahaviours in school, including his reluctant to go to school everyday always likes to hangout with older kids and teachers, never show interested in kids his age, etc). Our family used to live in Markham/Richmond Hill area but moved to San Francisco 2 years ago. There was an old thread but it was over 10 years old so I am wondering if any parents had any experience with this two schools or have heard how good/bad they are with gifted kids. The Academy For Gifted Children in Richmond Hill and another one is Prestige School in Richmond Hill. I've done some googling and found 2 schools seems to be for gifted children. I am most certain the public school system would not be able to accommodate his academic and social needs due to all the typical characteristics he has as a gifted child. He just turned 5 and recently has his IQ evaluated by a licensed child psychologist with GAI of 134, in the 98-99 percentile. Hi all, i've been trying to do research on school that are good for my gifted son. ![]()
