[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is half way through and I’m positive if they had the choice to make again they would still decide to go. Much better “fit” than our base school was vibe-wise and in terms of the intensity of academics. Plus DC likely would not have made the HS team for their sport whereas at TJ they are a varsity team member so that’s been a fun experience.

Tips - get involved in a more time intensive EC right away fall semester. Band, sport, one of the academic ECs that meets more often - anything to see the same group of people multiple times a week for a bit. It will help with the friendship jump.

For Math (Research statistics at first) it is not uncommon to have teachers that don’t really teach it directly. Anticipate this and plan to find other kids to work with for problem solving.

For the love of all things holy do not take Spanish at TJ. It is very hard.

Knock out a class the summer before freshman year such as PE. If your kid wants to do band or orchestra it will make it a lot easier to fit things in.
