[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it will reach capacity in the first couple of years after the campus opens but it will get there. My kid will apply for the 26-27 school year for sure.[/quote]

CS is dead as a career now. Tech is 2 decades too late. [/quote]
They have a lot of other interesting programs and the expanded building can grow them.[/quote]

There are many engineering and design / fabrication courses, including Project Lead the Way. There’s Aviation Technology and Flight Training. Etc. As the AT program grows, the bespoke STEM offerings will expand. Imagine being both a college graduate (associates degree) and a licensed pilot upon graduation from Arlington Tech.

What’s nice is that students who prefer a traditional high school experience (at W-L, Wakefield, Yorktown, Meridian) can still participate in Project Lead the Way, Aviation, etc., as an elective. However, many students prefer to be fully immersed in a STEM environment, where a culture of making, building, and operating advanced technology imbues many aspects of the day. That’s Arlington Tech’s sweet spot. [/quote]
