[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was invited to the Blair CAP program and we are trying to figure out what their schedule would look like if they accepted. I was hoping current CAP parents could address these questions:

1. Would it be possible for DC to take bio/chem double period, Spanish, and algebra 2 in 9th grade in addition to the 4 CAP courses?

2. Do some of the CAP courses count as the fine arts requirement for graduation? The course catalog suggests they don’t, but that seems a bit strange.

3. If your kid was also in the Eastern humanities magnet, how did they find CAP — more/less intense? Teachers — better/worse? [/quote]

Post your 4-year plan that shows your CAP requirements plus your science electives that require double science first year. 
You can't fit 2 different magnet program schedules in one high school career.

No need to get confrontational. I want DC to be able to take AP science courses in junior/senior year. For that they need double period bio/chem and honors physics or AP physics 1 in 9th and 10th. That altogether is hardly a magnet science program. [/quote]

Not confrontational, just bookkeeping the accounting reality of the schedule.

You can also ask your school to waive the dumbed-down "equity"  requirements of Honors Science + Double Period AP for a course sequence that should only be 2 periods total, not 3.

Sorry, I am needlessly irritable this morning. You are right that the constraints are significant. If they take Health in the summer that might open up the double period for 10th grade. [/quote]
