Collaborating with a program with a similar focus or rigor

Submitted by jay on Sun, 02/04/2007 - 11:12pm.

lthough this is not related to engineering curriculum, I found a program that has very similar strong focus as Columbia Secondary does on Math and Science. The program is a multiple year project and admits grade 3+. It prepares talented students to enter the most challenging high schools for math and science. Below is the site where you can find detailed information about the program. We could contact them for collaboration if necessary.

Contact them with curriculum questions

This looks like a very promising resource. Since we are currently in the process of selecting textbooks and curriculum for next year, I would contact them to find out what book they use for their 6th graders, and what curriculum resources. They might have some good insight on what is appropriate and GOOD. Maybe call and ask to speak to the Math or Science department chair, or the 6th grade Math and Science teachers. Once our school is up and running, there might some other ways to collaborate. What did you have in mind?
