[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

My kid will need substantial accommodations wherever he goes.  None of those accommodations change the curriculum.  That’s pretty much the definition of accommodations.

Ideally if he attends half time, it would be a consistent half time, so for example he goes to periods 1. 2, 3 and 4 consistently and takes 2 classes through the FCPS online system.  Add in some summer classes, and some credits carried over from middle school, and maybe a fifth year, and hopefully he would make it through.

If there is anyone whose child has been to TJ with an IEP, I would love to hear from them.[/quote]

Just FYI— TJ’s classes are so far above what is taught elsewhere that the list of classes they will accept from online is very short. Some history credits (9th and 12th grade), Spanish 3, PE, EPF are the only core requirements.   Middle school math doesn’t help— your kid will still need 4 years of TJ math.  Only foreign language would transfer.

FCPS will allow 2 online classes, but TJ will only allow 1 online credit per year in 9-11 and  2 in 12.  You can’t take easy FCPS biology instead of TJ. Or skip 2 block HUM, or not do a senior lab. What you are trying to do literally can’t be done.  There are too many classes that your kid is required to take at TJ, too many restrictions on online classes and the TJ diploma requires too many extras. And 8th period isn’t optional.

You really need to talk to TJ student services before going too far down this road.
