My daughter is in a public school now but there is a homeschool program at the gym she takes gymnastics at. She wants to do gymnastics all the time. At what age or level would be best to put her in this homeschool program?

Your daughter has more extensive needs for schooling due to what you described and I am not convinced that a homeschool based gymnastics program will be best for her (who knows what curriculum there is - it seems they have someone else teaching the kids, not the parents). I would look into an enrichment program like immersion. It is best to start this young and if she is a fast learner like you describe it could give her the ability to have a fluent second language. Or other enrichment might be a robotics league: USFIRST.org. This is great for math enrichment.
Homeschooling can be wonderful for a child with advanced educational needs if you have the time to devote to her schooling. A tutoring program/gym homeschool classroom is probably not the best option at her age and advanced academic needs. I would also see if your school offers a gifted program, which your dd may truly benefit from. Just my 2 cents.
This is us as well. We homeschool because it fits us best.I'm confused. How would you manage homeschooling if you work fulltime? I know some gyms have co-ops and tutors but they usually require the parents to teach at least part-time. Doesn't really sound like this program is homeschool as much as it sounds more like an alternative school.
It just seems a little premature at this point in her schooling and gymnastics. It would be one thing if you are homeschooling for educational/family reasons but just so she can go to the gym more at such a beginner level...
We homeschool because it fits our family best. My children can learn at their own pace and delve into topics that interest them. Homeschooling definitely helps with sports because we have a lot more family time, less school hours, and little homework (unless they have goofed around and didn't get their work done). So we don't have to worried about all that in the evening time. They can also get up later if they have a long night. While we love this lifestyle, we didn't choose it because of sports. It's just a nice benefit that it helps with that.
Before going this route, I would want to know the specifics like how is school done - Tutors, online learning, co-ops, etc., cost, how many hours for gym, etc.

Why in the world do you guys think gifted kids need MORE enrichment? Dudes. They by definition need LESS academic enrichment.
