[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're zoned for Einstein. When you say "special programs/application programs/magnet programs at several DCC schools and the DCC academy programs" are you talking things like the International Studies & Law vs. CAP and Magnet vs. doing an automotive track as an academy?[/quote]

If you're zoned for Einstein, and your child enrolls there, the academy programs they will choose from are: Visual and Performing Arts, Teacher Academy, Academy of Finance and Technology, Renaissance Academy, and the IB Academy. Renaissance and IB are more generalized; Renaissance entails taking a bunch of AP classes.[/quote]

But do they have to choose an academy or can you just go to the high school regularly? Are the academy programs considered "better" education-wise?[/quote]

Yes, they will have to choose an academy. They won't be required to complete a capstone or internship, but they'll at least take a few electives along one of the academy pathways. It's really not a big deal if you don't want it to be. My kid graduated from Einstein last year, and was a member of VAPA, but all he had to do for it was take 3 or 4 arts electives. [/quote]

Is Hufflepuff one of the academies? :D[/quote]
