[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think people know the history of SWW and who it served.

It was started as a progressive school designed to promote experiential learning to all sorts of students — college bound and not. The school website still claims its curriculum is unique but it isn’t. It is just another AP-oriented, college prep school.

This is true.  I'm happy for my child to apply but mainly because it's rigorous and has a good peer group for him; not because it has a unique curriculum.  It's basically all AP as far as I can tell?[/quote]

Yes it's pretty much APs, but fewer of them are offered than at Wilson.

If you run out of APs to take (e.g. have taken Cal BC as a junior) you can dual-enroll at a DC area college, assuming you can make it work in your schedule. That, however, is an opportunity available to students at every DCPS.

A select few students (competitively selected) are able to pursue the A.B. program at GWU ut for students who know they are headed to a 4-year university, especially one that won't accept college credits taken for credits toward a high school diploma, that isn't a great option. [/quote]
