[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No value to the program.[/quote]

I’ve said this since 2017.  WJ and parents acted like it was a prestigious program, but 9th graders elsewhere are managing AP courses without cohorting and a study hall essentially. [/quote]

There is no study hall - at least not for my kid.  DC perhaps could have "managed" without a cohort - but he benefitted immensely from cohort - in MS didn't really care about grades, but put with high-achieving kids that care - DC upped their game.  DC will have completed 10 AP Courses before Senior year (and will take a handful more in senior year)- and has already received 2 5s and 2 3s on AP Exams in Freshman and Sophomore year - which, while not perfect, is still quite good for a kid that never studies and is a testament to the level of teaching in the APEX program.  I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who has a kid that can achieve at that level but might need a little peer pressure to do so.[/quote]

WJ teachers are fantastic but that doesn’t have anything to do with apex[/quote]
