[quote=Anonymous]Dr. Glazer gave presentations on this to TJ PTSA before he left.  Most TJ students who attend UVA and W&M end up graduating with honors.  Those I have known who went to UVA and W&M found the curriculum, particularly for the first 2 years, to be very easy. As a TJ parent, I personally believe that is because of the rigorous nature of the TJ classes.  Nearly every class is taught at a college level starting in 9th grade.  TJ also requires that all research be done with collegiate academic standards (which is why all 9th graders learn Research Statistics in the first semester and have to apply statistical principles to all their research) and the IBET groups learn how to search, interpret, and cite professional scientific databases (the same ones that universities use) for all their papers. It's also explains why many freshmen have an adjustment period coming into TJ, with lower grades than the likely straight As from middle school. By the time they graduate, they are extremely well prepared for college (in fact, some think overprepared ... another point that can be debated). [/quote]
