[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping up now that APEX decisions are out. Can any parents of current 9th graders talk about what the APEX progam is like now, and if there's still a real cohort feel given how much bigger the cohort is now?[/quote] Still a cohort feel - and still tons more homework than in MS and what the other kids get. Still getting the extra book a quarter and doing projects and still going deep in Bio. AP NSL is fantastic and has ignited a love of that subject that the kid didn't know existed. APEX English is keeping my kid engaged and actually relatively enjoying the class - not held back by kids who aren't putting in the work or the thought. The teachers are not out to get the students, but yes, Bio especially has a lower grade curve than these kids are used to seeing. My kid is also in other ECs and those seem to be the kids DC hangs with mostly - Band esp.[/quote]
