[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ability to take magnet classes varies over the years and depends on the class. For example, no one but a humanities kid is getting into the 9th grade Criticism class and some of the specialized SMCS classes are limited to that house. But any kid taking Honors Physics in 11th grade might find themselves in a Global section of the class and get to go on some of the Global field trips for that year.

My understanding about the accelerated math pathway is that any kid who was admitted to SMCS can test into it even if they don’t go into that house. But they may have opened it up even further in the last two years.

I have a current Global student who is local and one that graduated a few years ago. He has 4 good friends 2 are in magnets 2 aren’t- all are smart good kids.  I have found they really worked with families to ensure that everyone got the classes that they wanted so occasionally you’d have an ISP student in one of the Global classes.  There are classes that are really limited though to people in the programs even if they aren’t advertised that way due to prerequisites.

Generally though, non -magnet kids will have math/some science classes with Global and Humanities students. For English/ Humanities classes, a child will be with SMCs and some Global kids. Nice kids. Highly recommend the school. [/quote]
