[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest difference is in math. [b]AAP accelerates the math curriculum so that by 5th grade they are one full year ahead - 5th grade AAP teaches the 6th grade math content.[/b] Other subjects, there's not really a difference in the basic content. AAP tends to go a bit deeper into each subject, have more self guided project work, more "application" than just basic memorization. [/quote] Ok, but is there a point/benefit to this approach?[/quote] you get to take algebra earlier which tracks you to be able to get in an extra year of high level math in high school. Advance math (basically level III kids and level IV kids not at the center) are on the same track [/quote]
