[quote=Anonymous]OP we just left MCPS and moved across country mid-10th grade. The new school was far more helpful and accommodating than MCPS was when we were leaving. But that aside, the new school will attempt to match your kids classes where available. My kid was taking AP US History and their new school didn't normally let kids take that till 11th grade, but they put him in the class as he'd done half the year. The language class did not match up, he was in Spanish 5 in MCPS and there was only 3 or AP available at the new school. The AP class proved too much so he went down to 3 and finished the year there. I should add, the Spanish 3 was way beyond the Spanish 3 & 4 in MCPS where it is diluted slightly as it starts in MS and in order to last until the AP later on.
There are EC classes that are often full at the beginning of the year which your kid likely won't get a space in, things like piano where the numbers are kept very small, and there might be classes he's obliged to take which he wasn't in your origin school. Intro to computer science, health x 2 semesters, PE etc. You should speak to the admissions secretary as soon as possible and get linked to the guidance counselor available to advice. Good luck.[/quote]
