[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids took:
6th - Alg 1 (they were bussed to the MS for 1st period and then bussed back to the ES for rest of the day)
7th - Geo (at MS)
8th - Alg 2 (at MS)

The most advanced (my recollection is just a couple of kids) either took Alg 1 starting in 5th grade or took Geo in the summer between 6th/7th. They then took Precalc in 8th grade at the nearest HS - they had to be driven there by parents[/quote]
What math class will they take in9, 10, 11 and 12th grade?[/quote]

They then took
9 - precalc 
10 - bc calc
11 - linear/multi
12 - diffE/complex analysis [/quote]

Would you mind sharing the logistics for the 11/12th grade post BC calc courses?
Were those dual-enrollment (DE) courses taught by public/private school personnel, or did your child have to attend a local college/university? If the latter, how did you manage this logistically?  Did the school support it? Were any of them remote/virtual? Who were their peers in those classes?

All the classes were offered at HS (TJ). You could get DE credit (iirc multi/linear) at GMU if you paid a fee but we didn’t because of the fee and limited utility of the credit at non VA colleges. There were maybe 20 or more students in the complex class but my kids said it was a tough class because of material and curve. Never a good sign when you go to class and see the school math team there. [/quote]
Thanks for the information. You are inviting a follow-up question which is with a lack of DE credit, did it require retaking some of these courses at whichever college/university your child attends/attended? Or was that the plan to begin with, as may be the case when attending an Ivy or MIT? Or did they leave STEM?[/quote]
