[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back when I went to CTY, the sessions were 3 weeks. Are kids learning an entire year of Geometry in a 3 week summer session?[/quote]

…. they already learned Geometry. [/quote]

Skeptical that Walls would not accept 2 years of Basis geometry to get out of 9th grade geometry but would accept a 3-week online CTY geometry course…[/quote]

All about checking the box for DCPS[/quote]

Skeptical of this anec-data. I have not found any verification that DCPS accepts CTY credits. My 7th grade algebra student would love to take summer geometry to place out of the 8th grade class (to avoid a particular teacher). We've been told that DCPS doesn't accept third party summer math classes for credit.  (I think Deal may offer a summer math course for DCPS credit, but it's only available to Deal families, which we are not.)[/quote]

My daughter did precalc at CTY--or rather, in one of CTY's online programs. It's one of a handful of online programs that DCPS does accept credit from. DCPS has a list of programs it accepts and won't.[/quote]

Where can I find this list/instructions? This is great news if we can get authorization.[/quote]

My daughter got it from her guidance counselor.[/quote]

At JR?
Who would be the analogous person to ask in middle school? Math department head?[/quote]

No, at Walls. And for those who are calling these 3-week sessions, I'm not sure where that came from. My daughter did pre-calc in 8 or 9 weeks, and it was a mad dash to get through all of the content.[/quote]
