[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell course catalog: https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1761922736/sidwell/nvrdst4fzkbiktxervc1/2025_26USCurriculumGuide1031.pdf

Blair magnet courses: https://old.mbhs.edu/departments/magnet/courses.php

I don’t at all see where Blair is stronger in STEM. [/quote]
Click on the electives at Blair. I don't have time to type them for you. Amazing choice of STEM courses at Blair.[/quote]

Sure. But Sidwell has amazing electives too. [/quote]
Ok a few samples from Blair: Cellular Physiology, Materials Science, Marine Biology, Discrete Math, Complex Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, ......
No private can come close to that in STEM.[/quote]

So you really didn’t even look at the Sidwell course catalog.

Science electives:

Ecology and conservation
Forensic science
Astrophysics
Molecular techniques
Advanced environmental science
Calculus based physics
Organic and biorganic chemistry
Molecular biology

But sure. “No private can come close.”

Oh and that’s just under science.

In math they offer linear algebra and differential equations as courses beyond BC calculus.

AI is offered in the computer science and engineering department, along with other electives like user interfaces, dynamic web design, robotics, programming and probability, etc.

Serious question:  it's in the catalog, but do they really have those classes?  Do you know of kids who are in those classes?

Even MCPS has certain classes in their course catalog for a particular school, but if there are not enough students interested in taking the class, they won't offer it.  So, a class being in the course catalog doesn't necessarily mean that they offer it every semester.[/quote]

And there the goalposts go … see them shift![/quote]
