[quote=Anonymous]1. Fairfax’s AAP program is not a gifted program, it is advanced learning program, as its name suggests. This was pointed out by one speaker in Loudoun’s GT program parent orientation. Your kids will learn advanced academic knowledge in FFX’s AAP. Loudoun’s program is a GT program. They don’t really teach much advanced academic stuff (if you want the same academic advancements as in FFX’s Level 4 AAP, you will be disappointed). On the contrary, Loudoun’s GT program is only part time, a few days a week. Students do interesting projects. Some of the training/exercises are similar to “out of box thinking” interview questions you see from big tech companies like Google or Microsoft. The focus is completely different.

2. It is easier to get in FFX’s AAP than Loudoun’s Fusion and Spectrum. One quarter of Fairfax’s student population are in some type of AAP program, spreading at different levels. In Loudoun, only about 10% students can make it. Quite a few FFX Level IV students  couldn’t make to Loudoun’s GT program after moving to Loudoun. There’s no automatic transfer from AAP to Loudoun’s Fusion or Spectrum. [/quote]
