Please consider this route carefully and ensure your child has lots and lots of opportunities to socialise with a wide variety of kids of a similar age. Even better, that they can engage in some group work with others.

IMHO socialisation and learning how to deal with / work with / get along with other people is one of the most important functions of schooling, and the one which often has the greatest effect on present and future success and happiness.

I would suggest engaging your child with some structured actiities with other kids, even if its just scouts / brownies / millenium volunteers (depending on age and interests) as learning to work with others on tasks and activities is a vital part of becoming a successful, happy, well-adjusted young adult.
