Yup. My kids are ahead of their peers academically and socially, and it's been a lot of fun. My advice to start would be to start by compiling as many resources as possible. Look at different schools and school systems and look for their grade-level objectives. Learn about high-achieving students and take a look at the resources they use. Brainstorm about what school can be, and what you can do with the tremendous flexibility you've afforded yourself. Set up goals to track your progress. Acknowledge that your child will have strengths and weaknesses. I have a lot to say on the subject that won't fit here, but I think it's hard to do worse than the alternatives if you have an ambitious plan going in.

How are they ahead socially? Are they so cool that the other kids don't talk or play with them? What does ahead mean here?

Look, I'm sorry your mom told you that but that's really not how it works!

Bruh, I'm asking you how it works. Stand up for yourself and qualify what you mean by your kids being "ahead socially".
Just take the L, bruh.
