[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our home school is Silver Spring International MS.  Trying to learn about how different the educational offerings are at SSI versus the Eastern or Takoma Park MS magnet programs.  I know that SSI has the middle years programme, and have read about it, but have not heard from parents who are familiar with it.

While I am glad that the gifted magnet programs are offered, I don't see much need to ask middle school kids to specialize in math/science versus humanities.  How is the specialized focus versus a balanced education accomplished?

And in these magnet programs, how much is it that schoolwork/homework is much more work, or it is different work than a traditional MS, or both more and different work?  trying to get a sense of how much harder students need to work to be successful in these magnet programs.  [/quote]

See if your kid gets in before trying to figure out if it's "worth it".  Chances are your child won't, and it will be a moot point.[/quote]
