[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely look into [b]Arlington Career Center and maybe Arlington Tech (they are co-located) [/b]I would contact his middle school counselor right away and explain the situation. They can help[/quote]

To clarify the Arlington Career Center offers classes that students at the base HS are bussed over to take. Generally those are taken in junior-senior year because it can be hard to fit them in your schedule before that. They also offer some summer and weekend classes.

Arlington Tech is the full-time HS at the Career Center. The students follow a project-based learning curriculum, take Dual Enrollment classes instead of AP in the upper grades, and have access to the the Career Center classes. All freshman take an engineering class in addition to the standard APS 9th grade classes.

It looks like applications are already closed so since OP's student is in 8th grade he can't apply for next year, at least not through normal channels. You might talk with your school counselor and/or the AT school principal about options, I don't know if there is a backdoor special placement option.
