[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he goes to Blaire or Poolesville,  (the STEM magnets), he should be able to take specific magnet courses, as long as he has met the prerequisites and the class isn’t full (although he wouldn’t be considered a magnet student). At least, this was Blaire’s policy a few years ago.  I encourage you to contact the schools directly for more details.  Here’s the magnet website for Blair, but it is somewhat outdated.

If he attends Richard Montgomery, I think he can apply as a 10th grader to join the IB magnet in the 11th.  I have no direct experience with Richard Montgomery, but you can find more information here:

OP here. Thank you for the response! I should have phrased my original question differently to ask if any magnet courses are ever available to non-magnet students or if there are programs (like Richard Montgomery's IB) that start later in HS. Thanks again.[/quote]

Also important to note that most clubs meet during lunch and are a great way to meet like-interested kids.  [b]Our HS has a million clubs![/b][/quote]

Are you talking about Whitman by any chance? There are always claims there are lots of clubs but most of them don't exist in the real world. They are college application fodder and not much beyond. [/quote]
The Whitman envy is strong in this one![/quote]

My kids were at Whitman. There is zero envy (not sure exactly what is to be envied, either?). Just glad they are no longer there. [/quote]
