[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first AP class for CAP kids comes in sophomore year, and it's AP Government NSL (national-state-local government). In fact that class is a combination AP and CAP materials.

Junior year, CAP kids take AP World History (a killer) and AP English Language (lots of writing).

Senior year, CAP kids take AP Literature. I think that's all for CAP-required AP classes, but somebody correct me if I've missed something.

Most CAP kids take more APs as well, particularly in the sciences and AP Calc AB / BC. Just so you know, the norm for MoCo public school kids who are aiming for selective colleges is something like 7-12 APs. No kidding! Private school kids, even at the "Big 3", take fewer APs on the whole. Blair has a wide range of AP offerings in the sciences, languages, music, and much more.[/quote]

Yep this is pretty much how it goes. All of these AP classes listed above are required for CAP kids. The remainder AP classes that your DC will take will be from classes outside of the CAP curriculum. If they choose classes wisely, they will have no problem taking a competitive amount of APs by the time they apply to colleges. [/quote]
