[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that people on here don't even realize what services ARE in place for academically talented youth in DCPS. [/quote]

Yes, we looked at it.

DCPS started offering a "SEM" program at two schools last year - which puts some existing things under a new moniker, but even that is not a "G&T" program and even DCPS acknowledges it isn't - for G&T, DCPS suggests Johns Hopkins CTY.  But unfortunately, at a cost of $1000 and up per individual class, CTY is a bit much for many of us to afford.

None of the schools where it's offered are IB for us.  It's not exactly compelling at this point.

Is that it? Or was the earlier PP thinking of one or more other services?[/quote]

Is there anything else?  The only things they tout as even remotely relating to G&T are the things that have already been discussed here - Junior Great Books, AP classes, SEM et cetera.  http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Learn+About+Schools/Academic+Offerings

If there's something else, it's a well kept secret.[/quote]
