[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If he does get into AAP, it would be more for being in the company of other well achieving students. We have no desire for him to be a genius or pressure him for accelerated academic progress. And instead of TJ, we would rather have him go to Langley.[/quote]

The peer group in AAP is an extremely important benefit for most of these kids.  But you need to realize this IS an accelerated academic program and your child WiLL be expected to progress at an accelerated rate.  Not that you need to "pressure" him, but it's a rigorous program.  I have 2 kids in it & it is certainly more demanding than the base program.   If that's not what you're looking for, it won't be a good fit for your child.  [/quote]What I mean is that we will let him naturally developing at his own pace without excessive pressure from us. We will support him and help him along. By accelerated academic progress, I was more thinking along the lines of skipping grades, earning college credit in high school, and etc, which I consider to be a monumental waste of precious youth.[/quote]
