[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you PP. My kid is only wait listed but I was curious about the school. My kid loves Math but not Science. Is it a good fit for someone like that?[/quote]

Sorry, forgot to respond to this.  DD is a math dork.  Wasn't really into science going into RCMS.  And I'll say the program more computer science than science science, if that makes sense.  My kid could program python better than me by 8th grade.  But the math really builds a great foundation for so many different paths.  We've started talking about college and when I asked if she had thought about majors she said either physics or chemistry.  I about fell out of my chair :)  [/quote]

Thank you for your response.is python taught in 8th grade? What level of depth and level of teaching is taught to learn python? Any other languages taught?[/quote]

If I remember correctly, python was introduced in 8th grade.  Prior to that it was some sort of java or C++.  Object oriented programming languages.  They focused on the process and flow of coding which I thought was great.  I got my daughter a Raspberry Pi in elementary school, and we had had fun writing python code that would light up LEDs on a connected bread board, so she had a bit of a head start.  I work in a tech field and am certainly not a full-time programmer, but I can read code.  If I have to write code, I am thankful that I have the Google.  :) I might not know the correct syntax to do what I need to do, but I can put the pieces together when I find them.  I learned in a similar fashion, many, many moons ago.  Reading through my daughter's code is one of my favorite geek dad activities.  :)  [/quote]
