[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8th grader at Sligo. I'm trying to get a head start on the high school choice thing in the DCC. We are zoned to Einstein and based on neighbor feedback, assumed DC would go there. DC is a computer science kid, and I'm not seeing any computer science classes offered there in this year's course bulletin. What's up with computer classes at Einstein.[/quote]

Einstein parent here. I know they have Foundations and AP computer science classes. Through the Business department. Not sure what's going on with the course bulletin, but you could contact the Counseling department to confirm.[/quote]

I haven't looked at the online course catalogue lately, but both AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A (Java) are both offered.  Check under the Business Dept. courses.  [/quote]

I found this curriculum guide for Einstein.  Check out p. 16.  Your DC does not have to take Foundations of CS before the AP's, unless DC wants to do 4 years of CS as a program completer (substitute for foreign language requirement).  The rub is that Einstein is not positive it will be able to offer a 4th year experience (internship).  I think that Carla Mackey is the contact person for this at Einstein.

There is also the possibility of doing the new cybersecurity program at Edison. It would be offered as a half-day program, with bus service from the home school.[/quote]
