[quote=Anonymous]Hi, my family was in the same boat (so to speak) a while back- military officer dad and family moving here from Norfolk. First of all, what they are now calling AAP here is the same as what they call GT in the Tidewater area. AAP (Advanced Academic Program) may have made you think of AP (Advanced Placement) which, you are right, is a high school program, but they are two different things.
There are lots of military people around here, so you will not feel out of place. Lots of us settle in the Burke, West Springfield, Fairfax, and Fairfax Station areas. You'll find good schools and nice neighborhoods with lots of community organizations and activities for you and your children. 
When you know where you'll be living, you can make an appointment and take your children's records into the school. They'll help you sort out the best classroom situation for each child. 
A PP gave good advice to look for a house that feeds to a school with a GT/AAP center- it would be easier to have all your kids in one school. Be sure to look ahead at the middle school and high school for the area also, even if you think you'll have moved on by then. We thought that too and ended up liking it here well enough to retire here!
Welcome and good luck! Feel free to ask more questions as you think of them![/quote]
