[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are also duel enrollment programs where students can earn take college classes and get both HS and college credit for the class.  I have mo direct experience, but a friend of my DC did this and thought it was great.

Good point about dual enrollment! Northwood is home to the MC2 program, so as well as AP courses many of their top students are taking Montgomery College courses, taught initially on the Northwood campus and eventually on the college campus in their senior year.

I'm not sure how accessible those are to students not in the MC2 program, but it does probably explain why Northwood doesn't offer as many AP classes overall—because many of the students who might otherwise take APs in the upper grades are taking the MC classes instead.[/quote]

Yes, that makes sense. I wish the DCC open houses would make more of an effort to highlight these kinds of differences between the five schools' core course offerings. There is so much attention given to their academy programs, but those are mostly about the different pathways for elective classes.[/quote]
