[quote=Anonymous]It is all very vague right now. Last update was the group they put together to pilot the school had submitted the charter application with an eye towards a Fall 2013 date of opening. The interviews people have given about it so far seem to indicate that they are looking at a heavy emphasis on either online learning or flipped classroom model. They've been talking about co-curricular opportunities at the university as well, but again, hopelessly vague. As PG residents who are university affiliates, I'm pretty sure we are exactly the people the school is meant to target, but personally I'm not finding an online model particularly appealing. I have heard nothing about a proposed site for the school. I would be surprised if it is up and running by 2013. That being said, we LOVE our neighborhood. College Park, University Park, Hyattsville, Berwyn Heights, Greenbelt - all have their own neighborhood vibe and all have positives and in many cases would be far cheaper than comparable homes in MoCo. In our case we've gone private though, as have many of the faculty members who have decided to live near work. [/quote]
