[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, of course Einstein has a full range of math and science classes, and many students there are not involved in the arts. The VAPA program is essentially a series of elective classes plus a portfolio. You can easily complete the requirements for VAPA while also taking advanced math and science classes.[/quote]

[b]No one is questioning whether they have a full range of math and science classes at Einstein[/b]. The issue is that students are required to pick an academy at Einstein and there are none that are focused at all on STEM.  The other issue is that the school is not doing a good job of explaining/promoting it's academic offerings by having an open house that is focused on the arts.  Einstein is our home school and it is disappointing.  [/quote]

Well, yes, 22:43 seemed to be questioning just that.  I am also an Einstein parent, and if a student wants to focus on STEM, they can certainly do that via the Renaissance Academy or the IB program.  Or even while on one of the VAPA pathways, as was stated earlier.  If they don't like the academy offerings at Einstein, there are several others throughout the DCC that they may prefer, and they can rank those schools their top choices.[/quote]
