[quote=Anonymous]BTW, I'm the first PP and firmly believe that4 years  fine arts is wonderful. TJ is a pressure cooker, and it has helped my kid to have something that uses a completely different part of his brain, that he loves

That said, a TJ kid needs 4 years of math, science, history & English taken at TJ  (so MS math does not count), 3 years of foreign language, a year of CS, a year of Design Tech, a year of senior research, plus pre-recs to the senior research (which is usually at least a year of astronomy, prototyping, electronics, or the like), 2 years of PE and EPF.  So they quickly run out of room.

I have seen a how to take 4 years of fine arts without summer school spreadsheet-- but it just isn't realistic. It assumes senior labs with no  pre-recs, which doesn't happen, and junior year CS, when the school requires it to be taken by the end of sophomore year.

For 4 years of fine arts, expect 2 years of summer school and EPF to be taken outside of school (which is a P-F, minimal work online module class my kid did in 2 hours a day over 3 1/2 weeks last summer)). For all our planning, I think DC is going to have to skip fine arts in 10th grade to make TJ work with his specific situation. [/quote]
