Thank you PP! Yes, that is exactly what I wanted to hear.

Please that FFX schools have fully embraced STEAM in their admissions to the AAPs.

In case anyone didn’t clic on the web link, it also says on that AAPs form:

World Languages ☐ Visual Arts
☐ Performing Arts

This is personally important for us.

Because while DD has really struggled with math and English, she is an excellent artist for her age cohort, and I feel AAPs is the program she really deserves.[/quote]

Must be a troll. [/quote]

I agree. AAP gives you advanced math and maybe some slightly harder work/less support on projects in language arts, social studies, and science. They expect more depth in research and writing. Being an excellent artist won't help you there a bit.[/quote]

Yes it will.  Advanced performance in the arts requires intelligence and use of many parts of the brain.

Why are you claiming artists can’t be every bit as good as kids who just score high on some test?[/quote]

Every bit as good at what? A kid who has demonstrated math ability is going to be - in the [b]near term[/b] - more able to perform at a high level on math than a kid who has not.

The long term is anyone's guess. But back when I was at TJ we had excellent visual artists and kids who could barely color a coloring book and yet everyone finished Calculus.[/quote]
