Same reason they don't give credit for AOPS/RSM/Cathay/Chinese/Hebrew school.

It's not part of the cookie cutter curriculum.

Agreed. They should let kids show proficiency in certain classes and let them test out.

School orchestra is a for-credit class and so are language classes you take at school. You don't get credit for outside orchestra nor do you get credit for speaking another language at home or going to heritage language school outside your regular school. You're actually making the point for everyone.


Getting credit for orchestra would be nice. Private and school is not comparable

Not a school sport so not part of the proposal.
