[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doing some early research/fact-finding even though odds are low: I'm maybe interested in HB middle school. What gives me pause is there aren't intensified classes. Could my kid take prealgebra in sixth if she tests into it? Are there other extension opportunities? How hard is it to go to HB for middle but then WL IB?[/quote]

Yes, can take pre-algebra in 6th. There are intensified classes in 6th. Can't answer the transition to WL question but my kid went to private, no homework middle school. very worried about WL transition. They are doing great! The first month was a home work culture shock though. BUt they are very self-motivated. [/quote]

I have also been told no intensified classes at HB.  Is that wrong?[/quote]

There are no intensified classes in middle school at H-B, but some of the classes are hard. My kid is doing a LOT of writing in sixth grade. Plus, they move quickly because there are 8 classes instead of 7. It's great they get more electives, but the faster pace makes it kind of intensified by default.[/quote]oo

my 6th grader's course selectin sheeot had intensified for many classes[/quote]

For HB? No it does not. There are no intensified classes in HB MS other than for math. But my gifted kid was not bored. The classes do move more quickly and most of the teachers are good. [/quote]

interesting. I thought, for sure, I saw it in the course selections form. Might have been a dream. Thanks.[/quote]
