DCC High School Electives and Class Options

[Anonymous]

Where can I find a list of the electives and class offerings for each DCC high school? I tried the websites but could not find a complete list. I have an 8th grader who wants to do Architecture in college but is also interested in Visual Art. We know Wheaton has an architecture program but not clear if they have visual art electives that she would enjoy. We are also looking at Einstein for their Art program (VAC and regular school). We are considering Einstein and then commuting to take some of the Architecture classes offered by Wheaton in 11th and 12th grade. For college she would need to take Physics classes and Calculus (ideally AP), but I heard that Einstein does not offer AP courses just IB.

Einstein has a bunch of AP classes, including AP Calc AB and BC. It does not have AP science classes, only IB.

Here is the course catalog for Einstein:

Einstein offers APs

Wheaton’s course catalog seems to be split up between their programs/departments, but the courses should be on their website.

Einstein has APs. You cannot take classes at two high schools.

DP. One correction: it looks like they have AP physics 2

This Einstein link is from 2010. The other link is more recent.

Caveat about all of these lists...take them with a grain of salt as they are from last year during the course registration process for this year, and there can be changes to course offerings pretty frequently.

Note that some of the architecture classes at Wheaton are offered as part of the Wheaton/Edison partnership, and that is a lottery-based program.

I found the 23-24 list for Einstein. Looks like AP Physics 2 has now been replaced by IB Physics 2.

Why would they do that??

Does anyone know if a student can take IB classes at Einstein without being enrolled in the IB diploma program?

Yes, they are available to all Einstein students.

I thought the plan is for Einstein to switch to all IB next year. The reality is that many of their IB/AP classes are combined classes anyway. You can definitely take classes at two high schools.

You posted a link for the 2010 course catalog. Super helpful.

No. Einstein just hired a new AP coordinator. The science department is the only one that went to all IB. I've had two kids at Einstein and have never encountered a combined IB/AP class.
