[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for setting me straight about the school! My kid loves STEM and was thinking about applying to TJ (he is only in 6th now) but I worry about the stress aspect of it. Would you say that Tech gives somewhat similar educational opportunities with less stress?[/quote] Arlington Tech has more hands on opportunities, with the resources of the Career Center facilities. The comprehensive high schools also have strong STEM classes and I know W-L offers IB Design Tech, a hands-on engineering and design class with lots of high-tech fabrication tools like CNC milling machines, etc. What really sets Arlington Tech apart is the focus on making through a robust STEM focused curriculum within a smaller high school setting. College credit and getting an associates degree by graduation are also huge pluses. The program won’t appeal to all STEM oriented students however. [/quote]
