[quote=Anonymous]I've had children at TJ and at regular high school with mostly AP classes. The workload at TJ is definitely challenging but I would say it will be a very similar workload to that of a child taking all AP and honors classes at their assigned HS.The child who is loading up on AP English and history classes has a lot of reading and writing to do which is very similar in amount of time required for high level math and science at TJ. It is definitely possible in a regular Fairfax County high school to put together enough high level courses to create a rigorous curriculum that is similar in challenge and workload to the TJ curriculum. The difference would be that in the base school the child can make a choice about the level of challenge to pursue. But really, most of the kids my children know at the base school are taking as many AP's and honors as they can, so there's a lot of time devoted to homework.[/quote]
