Typical Junior schedule for TJ student:

1. AP Macro Economics
2. AP US History
3. AP Physics C
4. AP Chemistry (must take HN Chemistry before AP Chemistry)
5. Artificial Intelligence (post-ap)
6. Multivariable calculus/Linear Algebra (post-ap)
7. DNA Science (post-ap)
8. HN English (AP English not allowed in junior year)


And does this typical kid get more than 3 hours sleep a night? Seriously, how is this in any way sane or healthy?


TJ grads often find colleges easier and place in the top 5 - 10% of the college class. Regular HS kids cannot compete with this kind of college preparation.

This doesn't seem wholesome to me. Each one of these classes is equivalent to a college class, and no college student would take 8 classes at once. Ugh.

This looks more like a response to the claim of TJ students only being a "test taker" than a "beat your own drum" by a "looser"
