I have jumped in here way too late. Here in Northern Ireland the poor kids are shoved into school when they are 4! the scandanavians wait till they are 6 saying that children learn easier and faster if they have a bit of maturity. So its always going to different for everyone.

for example - my Hollie she is way ahead of her age group with regard to reading and math, all other subjects too. ashley too - but ellis, well there is another story. Ellis is a bright child, but he needs more time.

I like the sound of the country school all the same - good luck
