[quote=Anonymous]With Curie, it is year long with both English and Math on a weekly routine.  Students go through an upfront placement test, and are recommended to enroll in their advanced or regular grade level track.  DC was placed in advanced track, but their friend with borderline placement was given the choice to enroll in regular track.  There are summer bridge classes to move from regular to advanced, not sure how effective they are.

Curie curriculum moves rather quickly and builds on previous topics.  There are monthly assessments that provide feedback on how well the student is grasping the content.  Parent involvement is demanded, to ensure student completes homework assignments and answers are checked Parents receive the assessment reports and they initiate a conversation if they find the student slipping.  There is a review week before assessment, during which relevant class recordings are accessible.

DC is enrolled in the program, but one of their friend dropped out as they found the pace wasnt a good fit and quite demanding.   They were offered to move down a level, but declined.  There are also science and stem skills classes that are conducted every other week, and writing classes are conducted in small groups.  [/quote]
