My Niece is among the 1 % of gifted children

On a serious note, the trick will be to keep her intellectually engaged since she is at a higher level. It may be necessary to move her up to higher grades to keep her interests up. She may also be able to graduate school early and move on to college if she is so inclined.

Your niece sounds exceptional and I hope she does well in all her future endeavors.

She has made two jump up two classes/grades-She is 10 almost 11 her friends in her class is some years older than she is.

She is giving extra task from her teaches. My niece once told me, that there where times when she was so bored at school, the stuff she and the others was doing, were so easy she made it in no time. Sometime she helped her friends. So The teaches is giving her task from higher grades.

The School where is now, have said she could without any problems jump up 2-3 classes, my sister said no. The age different would be to much.

There are school for children with a very high IQ, but these are not ordinary elementary school, they are a sort of private school and it cost money to have children in these school, money my sister do not have.

There is a positive side and a negative side about these private school.

The positve side is she is with other children like her, and she will most likely not be bullied-which she is being now and then at the school she is now.

The negative side-She will be with children with high IQ and not ordinary children.

There are so to say something good about these private school and some bad things about them-From what I know.

My sister have contacted MENSA, now she and my niece wait for an answer from them.
