[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s because it is only for upcounty and not equivalent to CAP. This board is dominated by people who live downcounty so have access nor interest in the program.[/quote]

Frankly, I wish downcounty had something like this. CAP basically focuses on all the elements of the Eastern Humanities magnet that my kid really didn't enjoy, and they would have loved to have an option that focused on the Humanities part rather than the Media stuff.

After looking at the course lists, my kid didn't even apply to CAP. They're currently doing well in IB, but the curriculum and requirements are very rigid, and I know they would have appreciated more flexibility to follow their own path as they take different types of classes and their interests develop. I don't know how competitive the Poolesville Humanities program is, but the course list looks interesting and rigorous, at least. Not sure how it compares to the honors/AP offerings at other upcounty HS, though?[/quote]

I'm curious about this. What types of classes does the Pooleseville humanities program have that are different from the CAP program? Model UN and the other things described seem similar to CAP right?

Is there a program that's more like the literature class at Eastern which my child loved?
