Not true.  TJ offers many courses like, Electrodynamics (post AP Physics C), Organic Chemistry (post AP Chem), Neurobiology (post AP Biology), Differential Equations (post Multivariable Calc), etc... that are not available at base schools.

TJ was established for providing such challenging courses. If students expect to take basic minimum graduation satisfying courses that are at the low end of TJ rigor scale, then staying back at base school might be a better option for workload management and accommodating extracurriculars.

Most kids, even at TJ, will not be on track to take those classes. Post AP Physics C means AP Physics C as a junior at the latest which means calc as a sophomore unless they want to take both at the same time which is not recommended by anyone other than Tiger Moms [/quote]
