How much Math ?

I don’t think it is necessary to sacrifice two summers to math, especially if there are more interesting things that your son could do in the summer. What about taking Honors Algebra 2 as a junior and Honors Precalculus as a senior?



This is sort of what I am thinking. I can’t see why it’s so important for this kid to get to AP Calc. The PreCalc and the APCalc show on the curriculum offerings as optional so maybe the school will go along with not doing the summer course.

Our local community colleges and local state uni (which is sort of a CC anyway) do not offer Algebra 2 in the summer at all. I’m also not finding local schools, public private or parochial, offering a credit bearing Algebra 2. They do offer a review or preview survey course – but not the full year math credit course.
