[quote=Anonymous]We looked into MC2 when my kid was in 8th, and if remember correctly, students take a combination of AP and MC courses taught at Northwood in their first two (maybe 3?) years, then move to the MC campus for the final year(s). I can’t recall the exact progression, but they’re not dropping high school freshmen into a college classroom with 20-year-olds. And they’d start out by taking AP classes alongside their peers at Northwood. And—again, if I’m remembering correctly—the MC2 program includes a specialized class or two designed to help freshmen ramp up to college-level work quickly. My impression at the time was that it’s intended to be a carefully-designed, well-supported program with specific academic tracks, as opposed to the a la carte Dual Enrollment model. Ultimately, mine decided the IB approach was a better fit for their deep-dive learning style, but was pretty intrigued by the MC2 model. [/quote]
