Kai sounds so much like my Zach. When we visited the schools that I like the most (Waldorf, Living Wisdom, etc.) he liked them but he wasn't "fed" by them. We found the Odyssey program through out local public school and it's very scholastic. Very different than I would have liked at that age but Zach is in heaven. Loves every part of it. It's always good to follow their lead. Keeping his enthusiasm for learning alive is the best way to do it. That's so good that you're following his lead! Thank you for the Congrats too!

{{Hugs}} Waldorf is definitely not a place for questions (from kids or their parents). Its great that you're listening to Kai's needs and sounds like there are many other options.

I think the "best" school is what fits your particular child. My son went to a Montessori school and did not like it. It was not a good fit for him. We are now working with Enki homeschooling curriculum and it seem to be a better fit for him. What I'm saying each child is unique and there's probably not one particular education that would be a great fit for everyone. I think that's great you notice about your son, not every parent would.
