[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing - I noticed your child is coming from a private k-8.  Is it Catholic?  If so, he might have a bit of a culture shock.  It’s too bad the coronavirus is around.  In the past, private school students looking to transfer have been allowed to shadow for a day.  If he is doing well in private school, I would strongly consider signing him up for AP US History freshman year.  The strongest Humanities students will be taking it.  Make sure that you sign up for Honors everything with APUSH if possible.  What will he take for math in 8th grade?  How about foreign language?  [/quote]

OP here,

I am optimistic that there will be shadow days by the time he's close to starting.  It's a year away. I'm not worried about culture shock.

He'll take Algebra 1 and Level 1 of a new language in 9th.  He's not an academic superstar, and is pretty involved in extracurriculars, so I'm hoping he'll have some balance.  He's doing fine in his current school, but he's not a kid who needs to take a college level class like APUSH while he's adjusting to high school.

A lot of kids are taking Algebra in 7th and 8th and some in 6th so he may be a bit behind.  I would choose Einstein for the music program and its easier being your home school.[/quote]
