[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people confusing several programs? Aren't there three programs?
Is OP talking about PLTW criteria-based magnet that is similar in caliber to Blair or some academy programs at Wheaton or one of the career programs that is in partnership with Einstein?[/quote]

I’m a teacher at Wheaton. While not teacher in the magnet department, I feel like we have a strong magnet program. Really nice kids. One of my students got a full ride to Harvard a few years ago.

Wheaton has a partnership with Edison (campus is next-door). Edison is for trade-based programs like auto mechanic, hospitality, etc.

At Wheaton, each kid has the same requirements for graduation BUT chooses a completer program:
-Global Studies (2 credits of World Language)
-Edison (4-9 credits)
-Engineering Academy (5 credits)
-Bioscience Academy (4 credits)
-The Academy of Information Technology (4 credits—including research or internship)

Hope that helps clarify. I’ve been at Wheaton for years and have seen many changes. I couldn’t say enough good things about the school. Great teachers and kids.
