School

Very busy these days...not only with the usual children, work and house stuff but we also have to make an important decision. Our son is in the Rapid Learner Program and we have to decide where he is going to go next year for school. He'll be 12 and the choices are:
-International Baccalaureat which is considered the best of the best. It focuses a lot on languages and art. Big drawback: you don't have a life in there. It's work and a lot of it. They focus a lot on test scores and there is no time for sport, music or whatever else you are interested in.
-High Achiever program. Available in most middle-schools the classe are more challenging and they go beyond in their way of looking at a problem.
-Staying in his school for 6th grade in the same program. I love that program and would love for him to stay but the school is not sure they will have enough students for a classroom next year.

I find it very difficult to choose a "path" for my son's life when he is only 11. Will he be mad at us later if we don't put him in this international baccalaureat program that would for sure put him in a wonderful position when universities will be recruiting? I don't want to commit him to a life of all work no play. A lot of the children in his classroom are going though... He wants to stay in his present school that he loves and he certainly doesn't want more homework and he wants time to play soccer.
I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up and he said: " I want to make video games."
Me: " Euh, ok...Nothing else? Really? Nothing?"
Him: "Nope."
