[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the private school kids taking calculus?  And calculus based physics?  When I dig through websites that seems to be important in terms of defining rigor.  Calculus is often mentioned specifically and also tracks with the idea that kids are taking the most rigorous curriculum offered at school.[/quote]

At our school those are required courses, so yes.[/quote]

What high school requires calculus based physics?  I honestly don't believe you unless you're reporting in from homeschool. [/quote]

I am curious to know this too as I don't know of any private school either (but readily admit there are schools out there I don't know).  i know of a lot of kids who never make it to calculus and are at privates. And even more so on physics -- I have never heard of a school that requires physics C since you have to have taken calculus before-hand, so before senior year (Holton requires freshmen physics but it is specifically not calculus-based).[/quote]

+ 1.  Even the top STEM school in the country, TJ, does not 'require' one to take AP Physics C.  Quite a number of kids don't either, even at TJ.[/quote]
