[quote=Anonymous]The CAP curriculum is online. I would have your child look at the classes and see if they appeal or not. The main complaint about CAP is if a child wants to spend their time on subjects outside what CAP offers you really can't do that especially in the first two years and it can be a drag to be forced to take classes in subjects you dislike. IB will offer a more well-rounded classic education.

I would also look at school size. Blair is huge and this year's 9th grade is about 1000 kids. It's possible next year may be that large. Springbrook isn't a tiny school but it's about half that size. This will impact leadership opportunities and ability to join some activities that have tryouts.

Finally commute is a big deal in high school because there's so much work, most kids are sleep deprived, and activities that end at unpredictable hours. If you're saving 20-30 minutes a day on commute to one versus the other that is significant. Good luck to your child and congratulations.[/quote]
