[quote=Anonymous]From our experience, the pace and depth of the class along with the student cohort makes a huge difference.  There are also many similar kids in terms of interests, learning style and ability that makes the AAP center class much more rewarding and engaging for kids for whom school has always been exceptionally easy.  In my kid's case, the kid suddenly went from being an outsider in terms of learning to having a peer group and kids to actually push the child. More kids were able to learn at a similar pace and and intensity, which totally changed the dynamics of school for my kid.

We really noticed the difference in middle school when my kid switched back to the local level IV from the center. Most of the higher performing kids stuck with center; only a handful of them switched to LLIV. The difference has been significant in my kid's opinion between the classes at the center compared to the classes at the LLIV.  According to my kid there is more of a divide in pace, eagerness to dig deeper into subject matter, and class discussions.  That said, I am a strong advocate for centers at the elementary level but am okay with less of a focus on centers for middle school.

I have a kid taking the accelerated math at the base school and I do not see a difference between the center math and what my base school child is doing.[/quote]
