![]() I still have Ciaran and Sirah at home on our journey together, this year in 8th and 5th grade though typically working ahead in most class areas - with some outsourced high school level classes for Ciaran. ![]() Will report back at the end of the year :) This gives us hope as a positive compromise and step in her academic life. We still live by our "life in balance" mentality here and all of us want her to have a more normal college experience and not rush the social maturity piece. Not wanting to jump straight to college, which she honestly would be ready for academically we needed to find alternative solutions. We spent the past few years being creative and outsourcing individual classes as needed, this worked for awhile but slowly I think we all realized she needed more. She always said - "I will homeschool until college" but I think I knew deep down inside there was no way I would be capable of accomplishing that, as bright as I am - she is brigher :) Looking back over the years I have truly enjoyed homeschooling her but I always knew that I would "know" when it was time to be done. Still she will not walk the halls of a traditional high school, instead we have found a non traditional path for our very non traditional student :) She will learn under highly qualified professors with intellectual peers in an online environment for gifted students. Weird to think the first day of "school" came when she was 15 years old. This week Maria starts high school not homeschooling.
