Kvdag: In Calgary I normally the informal rule that you can go up to 11 above the limit. Even during your driving test you can go up to 10 above and 10 below the posted limit. Here na like 40 people dey use take pass posted limit lol. Because you'll be going 20 above and everybody just dey overtake. 1 Like |

Canny people especially Calgary people, pls help. Information online says secondary school (year 7) starts at age 12. Does this mean a child who isn't 12 by August of a particular school year will not be able to start year 7? I suspect this is the case but just curious about the experience of those who have landed. Is the standard the same regardless of public, private or religious school? I know kids can't start kindergarten until they are 5 (at least in Calgary) just curious if the age regime is also strict for secondary school. Also pls does anyone have information or experience of special schools for gifted kids or kids with exceptional talent? From what I've read looks like the child has to have spent at least a term/year in a Canadian school to be assessed. Thanks.

GraciousWords: No, I'm not familiar with these tests in Alberta. Most of the information I found online are from Ontario parents. In Ontario you can take the child to a psychiatrist and pay privately for the assessment. I would say allow your child go to their age grade. Keep in touch with their teacher and if they're gifted, they will be recommended for the assessment. If they are well and truly ahead of the class, they'll probably be placed in their own independent learning path regardless. I'm not sure you want your child to be in same class with older children. It's not like in Nigeria where the ages are mixed... Imagine being the only 10 year old in a 13 year class. Or when all your classmates turn 16 and can get drivers license. Especially since a lot of academically gifted children are challenged in other aspects. There are a lot of options to challenge children. They can do late immersion into a language program rightaway. If they never make it into the gifted program, when they eventually get to high school they can do the IB program etc. I'd love to see views from more experienced parents sha. My own view for the matter na audio. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Absolutely, In Nigeria parents like their children to jump classes for a variety of reasons; ranging from bragging rights to evasion of school fees. However, abroad everything works seamlessly, a gifted child will eventually show; in talents, in achievements later on. They need that emotional maturity, and like as some said, you won't want you child (i assume coloured) to be the smallest or youngest in a class full of white kids, once they pick on that child and he/she is not able to stand his/her ground that will be the decline of the child's performance and even well being. Trust me, if that happens, you will regret ever leaving Nigeria. I know a child who was leaving Pry 4 in Nigeria and about to enter Year 1 got to Canada and was sent to elementary 3, she is doing fantastically well now. 19CannyMum: 1 Like 1 Share |

19CannyMum: Thanks a lot for your input Mum! I don't mind child redoing a year, not a problem at all. And like you say, a gifted child will always shine and be seen (a lot are "socially challenged" but not all) ![]() Definitely after a well rounded individual, social, sporty and smart not only one that is strong academically, but I'd heard about "gifted" schools and/or charter schools and the WISC V path....... so thought to ask. Thanks for your insight. I'm conversant with the International Baccalaureate program and hope to tow that path later DV....IB is quite versatile and can be used to get into US Unis as well. Notices that a few Calgary schools offer this as well. |
