[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8th grader who will go to Blair next year. How much guidance is there for choosing classes, such as which APs to take and when since there seems to be so many options across each department.

Also, can someone post a typical 9th grade schedule for a college bound kid that wants to show rigor but not be totally overloaded.

Assume Algebra 2 (not honors), Spanish 3 and band.

Thanks![/quote]

I would say check w/ the counselor on this. Most at Blair are good, but there is one counselor at Blair who is terrible. The resource teacher for counseling at Blair is excellent, so reach out to her if you can't get answers.

I'd say a good schedule that shows rigor would be:

Alg II
APUSH
AP Physics A or Hons Physics (if not so math inclined)
Hons Eng
Hons Span 3 
Band
??? Chorus? Art? Theatre? PE? Would not add another AP just yet

This looks much more reasonable but I would check to see if DC has enough math for Honors Physics. AP physics 1 is fine but at our W hs they want Algebra 2 completed before Honors Physics. Not sure if it’s required though. [/quote]
