[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I just looked this. While there is some engineering math etc., most of it is stuff like cosmetology, auto repair, dog grooming. Not sure it's any substitute for T.J. :([/quote] No one was claiming it as an alternative to TJ. The poster said her son had attended the engineering math academy and done quite well. It is a different curriculum than the standard HS curriculum. It appeared there were classes for Physical Therapy and Animal Science, as well - both good careers. It also appears that several of these programs get you college credit while in HS. Not everyone is college bound, either. I think it is nice that they offer the vo tech-type classes, too. No one is saying if your kid goes to those schools, they will be forced into the academy classes. It is just another option. Gear your child towards TJ if you want, but also know that these options are also available in the FCPS system.[/quote]
