Regardless of the school your child attends, their IQ will not change. It should not be a problem unless you make it into one.

Thank

This is a confusing post. The Guinness world record holder for highest IQ of 198 is a Greek doctor (MD/PHD). You did not list your kids IQ or any reason why its IQ might be a problem. Most kids will test between 90-110 and do as well as others in school. When you post on this site the more info you give that describes your concern the more likely we can provide a reasoned answer.
