[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a response from Tina about the specific pathway to calculus. 
One of the many options that is being proposed is that a student could take grade 6 and 7 mathematics; essential concepts courses in grades 8, 9, and 10; pre-calculus in grade 11; and calculus in grade 12.  Many other options and pathways will also be available.

Sincerely,
Tina

Has anyone gotten a response on post-AP math classes? Calc is great for those who need it, but many northern VA kids go beyond it in HS.[/quote]

With all the emphasis they've placed on 'and kids don't need calc anyways', the fact that they've repeatedly stated that there is still a 'path to calculus', and the fact that we're not really sure how easy/realistic even getting to calc is going to be for most students, I think it's pretty much a given that the way it's structured now, there is no anticipated offering of post-calc classes in HS. I guess kids could take classes at NOVA at night or during summer school.[/quote]
