[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son just got offered a spot at Takoma Park (probably some other kid just moved or gave it up.) Leaning strongly towards our home school of Cabin John, mostly because of distance. Son said he's not interested in a long commute either. Just want a bit more feedback before saying no (deadline to decide on Tuesday). Background: he's great at math (MAP 99th), good at reading (MAP 90-93rd), generally nerdy (super into history and geography, watches YouTube videos on science/history/geography etc.) He also gets some enrichment via RSM, summer camps etc, so just wondering what the Magnet program would add (I know the CS courses would not really be offered at his regular MS, but wondering how much that would be worth.)[/quote]

I can't speak for Pyle, but my kids went to the TPMS magnet. It has enriched math. They go into subjects that regular advanced math doesn't cover. The science classes are more in-depth and lay the groundwork for understanding scientific method and analysis. There's also introductory programming for three years. This provides a strong foundation for entering the high-school STEM magnet. My kids enjoyed many non-magnet classes too and participated on the school math team, which is well renowned.[/quote]

My son loved TPMS (and Blair).[/quote]
