But that does sound interesting Babz. I can see the monetary advantages of such a setup, and the educational advantage that a student could get out of uni at a younger age and begin their careers. But you have to balance that with letting the teen still have somewhat of a life and some fun while still in h/s.

Gosh, sounds a bit pushy to me but I'll be interested to hear what you find out and think about it. High School is like a right of passage in the US so please don't underestimate the importance of the experience for your son. It's an experience Americans seem to live for the rest of their lives.
