[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in the back row and ignorant in the ways of the big 3 elite. I sent one kid to TJ and one to a top 5 FCPS HS, so help me out. Not allowed to advance themselves over the summer?  How does a school enforce that and why would they?  One kid did some prestigious summer music programs and got college credit from NIHAD at W&M one summer.   One kid did the Middlebury language immersion program, NSIL-Y summer program and NSA StarTALKS and took school year community college classes and CTY and became fluent in a critical language.

Now my kids are self proclaimed nerds and this is how they chose to spend summer.   But any large college will let you get summer college credit through a pre-college program. You sign up, you put it on the CA, and you send the transcript to colleges.  How does a private school keep you from taking college credit classes during the summer from a community college or pre-college program?  And why would they limit other opportunities, like prestigious music programs and NSLI-Y, that look good on college apps?[/quote]

Wow, that was some excellent bragging you got in there. Def a TJ parent.
