[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are from one of the top ranked middle schools, and DC and their friends are headed to TJ.  They have spoken to the upperclassmen from our neighborhood and engaged with the teachers at the preview night, and were immediately impressed with the opportunities and challenges that TJ offers, something they feel would be lacking at their base high school. They have heard that confidence and the will to put in the hard-work matter a lot at TJ, and DC and their friends have plenty of both.    [/quote]

NP.  This is why DS chose to go. I was surprised when he told me that this was what he and his friends who were admitted liked about it.  Seemed like more mature reasoning than I would have expected from him or them, tbh.  [/quote]

Different NP.

Acceptance came as a surprise to us and required some serious consideration of whether we should allow him to go.  He persuaded us. He’s now finishing his first year and thriving.

If your child does not want to attend, please do not force them to go because it often doesn’t  end well for the student.  If the only reason your child qualified was constant academic supplementing throughout ES and MS, maybe TJ is not the right fit.

But if your child loves science, technology, and an accelerated pace of learning (and they really want to go) then TJ is the place for them.[/quote]
