[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended the 2PM session. The principal is very charismatic and engaging. Really, all the speakers were energetic and had a visionary vibe.  The facility feels more like a college - lots of windows, adaptive and indoor/outdoor spaces. The pods are set up to be integrated disciplinary spaces-not typical FCPS. The robotics, maker and science labs are way beyond what is standard. The pool is great, my kid is a swimmer so really nice.  They said they are doing three pathways: Aeronautical Engineering and Aerospace, AI and Robotics. [b]The school/facilities are set up to be a magnet school [/b]and while the admin is very committed to a traditional HS experience (they played sports and did band etc), its clear this will not be like other schools. I loved it.[/quote]

This is false.  The building was designed to be a private school with many facilities segregated by sex.

People said the same "this will not be like other schools" when some of the schools with "open learning" spaces were built.  It didn't prove very practical for a public school environment and those schools then were retrofitted to add more traditional classrooms.  [/quote]
