+6 is pretty high, that would put the seventh grader in calculus. What did you do for eighth grade? We have a Saxon calculus book for the 9th grader but I don’t see much point in going beyond that - might as well branch out into physics, computational theory, and other modern disciplines.

Yea, we used Saxon too (the old Saxon, that is). Worked great - and it was fast, because we didn’t take off much time (i.e., no summer break, some work on weekends - that was the key to getting way ahead).
I took them through pre-Calc (i.e., “Advanced Mathematics”), and then enrolled them in our community college starting with Calculus (we wanted them to have Calculus documented on a transcript). They didn’t have a minimum age, but they did require 500 SAT on Math and Verbal (using the old test). Math was a blow-out, as one would expect from the Saxon prep - Verbal was closer, but they squeaked through. With that, they were allowed to enroll. We ramped up, starting with one class the first semester, then two the second (while still in Christian school), then full-time after that. I suspect the SAT requirement is to show that the kid doesn’t need remedial - which, at that age, would mean that the kid had no business being in college courses.
