[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're having a tough time choosing between standard enrollment at Blair and the Wheaton Biomed magnet. Blair is much closer to our house, but our DC is really set on becoming a doctor (for now at least). Blair offers an amazing selection of science classes and it seems we could independently cobble together a curriculum somewhat equivalent (and, in some ways, superior) to Wheaton. But we hear that, beyond classwork, PLTW Biomed offers significant advantages on internships and other outside-the-classroom opportunities. It's a coin flip for us right now, so any advice would be very helpful. [/quote] The STeM Academy at Blair has good internships, because the academy leader is an excellent educator nd has spent years developing relationships and internship opportunities for students. If your student demonstrates excellent math or science skills, they will be invited to take magnet courses.[/quote]
