[quote=Anonymous]Regarding academic offerings, all three comprehensive APS high schools offer a standard curriculum of classes with robust AP course offerings. APS also has an IB magnet program located within one of the three high schools and a language immersion program located within another. For interested students, the 2-year IB program has a 2 year pre-IB component.

In contrast, FCPS has two types of comprehensive high schools, IB high schools, and AP high schools. The FCPS IB programs span all four years and include the middle years program.

Regarding other unique programs at the secondary school level, FCPS has “academies” located at certain high schools that offer unique courses not part of the standard curriculum. Instead of academies, APS has a centrally located Career Center program, which offers a wide range of classes from aviation/flight school to mechanical engineering.

APS also has H-B Woodlawn (similar to School Without Walls in DC) which is a small 6th-12th grade school that offers a lot of student freedom. The newest school program at APS is a 9-12 grade STEM focused Tech High School.

FCPS is home to the world-renowned Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. The school reserves a number of spots for APS students.  [/quote]
