[quote=Anonymous]You don’t need a geometry course that gives “credit”

You need your kid to learn geometry well enough to be able to pass a placement test after they get into the private school.

You’ll need to get into a school, then the spring and summer before ninth grade, you need to do khan Academy, or some sort of geometry course.

As soon as you get into the school, and before you make a final decision, you will have reached out to the head of the math department at the schools you are considering to ask what is the process for testing into a higher level math, and what exactly are their expectations of geometry knowledge/skill

If your kid is applying to college without the the benefit of athletics, you are correct in that they are supposed to take the highest level classes they are able to.  Some private schools will end with BC calculus senior year, which assumes ninth grade geometry, but some private schools will have the AP calculus option in the junior year and those will require geometry to have been completed before high school.
