[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holton messed up the math curriculum in its Middle School. But that should not affect your daughter, who would be coming into HS. The new girls coming into 9th grade can be placed into Algebra 2 honors or Precalc Honors. More generally, the STEM curriculum is solid for a private school, but it won’t compare with TJ, Blair, etc. Holton has a STEM scholar program during junior and senior years, which includes an internship at a local university during the summer. The girls are well supported and gain a lot of confidence. My daughter, who is interested in STEM, came from a public school in Fairfax county and is thriving at Holton. No regrets about the transition. [/quote] OP here, really appreciate your sharing this perspective! Did your DD join Holton at HS or MS? Our DD will be joining MS and have been reading about the MS math curriculum changes you mentioned. And do you mind sharing the reason for shifting from FCPS to Holton?[/quote]
