[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ students tend to focus less on the total number of AP courses and more on selecting rigorous APs that serve as gateways to even more advanced coursework that align with their interests.

There are a few APs that entire class enrolls in for meeting minimum graduation requirements, like AP Calc AB or BC, AP English Lang, AP Gov, and AP Physics 1 & AP env science starting this year.

AP Physics C M&EM, AP Chemistry, and AP Biology are popular science APs, however students look to demonstrate depth in one or more areas by enrolling in follow-on advanced courses like Electrodynamics (post AP Physics C), Organic Chemistry (post AP Chem), Neurobiology (post AP Biology).

Top STEM focused students dont stop at AP Calculus BC, but go up to two levels beyond that by enrolling first in Mulitvariable/Linear, and following it up with Differential Equations, and Complex Analysis.

Computer science focused students look to enroll in Machine Learning 1 & 2, which has AP Comp Science A, Artificial Intelligence 1& 2, and Multivariable as pre/co-requisites.

AP US History is a common choice for social studies in junior year.  More than half of the class enrolls in a AP world language credit.

My TJ kid didn't take any AP class last year as freshman, he is taking 3 AP this year (Seminar, Calculus, and CS A). I was told the quality of AP matters more than the quantity.[/quote]

In your scenario above are they doing Calc BC in 10th grade?
