[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since both offer AAP, is there a benefit to choosing one over the other? We are zoned for Thoreau but some of DC’s AAP friend’s (who graduate from ES this spring) are electing LJ, despite it being farther away. Would love input parents whose kids attended either (or anyone who has a general understanding of the two programs). Thanks![/quote]

My son in 7th chose Thoreau but has several friends that chose LJ.  Thoreau has been easier than 5th and 6th grade at the elementary AAP center.  The homework load is less than elementary and the expectations are less.  He is getting As on projects and writing that his elementary school would (and did) give a 3.  His friends at LJ have a lot more homework and aren’t getting straight As like most at Thoreau.  LJ AAP will definitely prepare your kid for high school better.  [/quote]

+1 this is our experience too. LJ also have more academic oriented after-school programs like [b]MathCounts and Science Olympiad[/b] that Thoreau does not offer.[/quote]

Those programs are the golden ticket to TJ!
