[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Observer with a current 8th-grader so take this with a grain of salt: from what I can tell, the MC2 cohort is academically strong and motivated, and if your child wants to [b]trade a significant portion of high school for college[/b] and get some gen ed credits out of the way, that could be a good route.

However, the AP teachers at Northwood also seem to be a strong crew, so your child could still have a more typically high school experience, gain AP credit, and still have a strong cohort/classroom experience.[/quote]

It is not a significant portion.

Freshman year, it’s 1-2 AP classes.
Sophomore year, it’s 2 AP classes and 1 college course taught on Northwood’s campus.
Junior year, it’s two college classes taught on Northwood’s campus and one college class taught at an MC campus (used to be summer, going forward will be winter).
Senior year: if your child prefers, they can take 4-5 college courses each semester on a MC campus and never set foot at Northwood. However, they can also go back to Northwood for clubs, athletics, and other activities. Which is what my child is doing. There are also a few seniors taking 1-2 MCPS classes at Northwood.

Along the way, my child attended dances, the musicals, and sports events, participated in extracurriculars at Northwood (including serving as a leader in clubs), traveled internationally, interned during summers, and exceeded the required SSL hours. Normal high school experience for a very driven kid in MCPS. [/quote]
