Answer 2

hi !

i'm going to be a junior tomorrow & i am in the science and math institute. yes, for the most part, it is separate from the zoned program. there are a few exceptions, however. you may have gym as well as lunch with the zoned program. it's completely mixed. math and spanish are honor classes, on the other hand. you may have these classes with honor zoned students, which isn't half bad. the rest of your classes (chemistry, biology, english, and global history) are strictly with institute students.

as soon as you step into the building, you should through the A wing entrance as the teachers guided you on the day of the freshman orientation. you step in & you go to the designated room number you were given on the orientation day. if you lost the number, they may have a list with all the numbers laid out when you walk in. you go to that room & a teacher will hand out each person's ID card, program card, and possibly a bus pass. she will go over some rules & what is expected of you & stuff like that. at about 8:15 a bell will sound & you will go to your period 2 class (probably your bio class)

you'll be fine. no one is going to hurt you in any way. the teachers are generally nice & will help you if you ask for help.

hope i helped. lol :]
