[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had one kid in CAP, one kid in SMCS.  Both are great programs.  Humanities/writing definitely better in CAP, especially now that all 9th and 10th grade students take Honors English at Blair (and many other high schools) so there is no differentiation. I care a lot about writing,and I’m pleased with how CAP prepared my kid for college.   There is no reason to think that 9th grade APUSH at another school is better than the CAP history offering. It’s all about the cohort and the teacher (that’s always true, from elementary through grad school), and CAP has that.[/quote]

Is CAP mainly for creative-focused girls? what about boys who are creative but may also like computer science - is it still a good fit?[/quote]

My SMAC boy who is is fantastic at math and computers but also has a humanities bent would have loved CAP.  I might have encouraged him to go there even over RMIB because the writing instruction would have been good (not as good probably but still good), he’d have access to quite a bit of the advanced STEM classes, and the commute would have been so much better.[/quote]
