• You cannot join A.P.I.D. if you are not zoned for

Curriculum Choices

• Students will be grouped together for their
  English, Science, Social Studies and Foreign
  Language class where possible in the 9th and 10th
  grade to allow for better preparation for the
  A.P. exams.
• Students will continue their individual learning
  path in math, based upon their credits at
  entrance. It is expected that all ninth grade
  students will be enrolled in Algebra 1 Honors or
  above.
• Students are encouraged to start an elective area
  of their choice such as music, art, or theatre
  and remain in that area for four years so that
  they may obtain honors credits in their elective
  areas as a junior and / or senior.
• Failure in academic classes may lead to probation
  and removal from the A.P.I.D. program.

Course Progression

Can I drop a class?

• NO. Required classes as outlined in the course
  selections cannot be dropped or changed. You must
  complete the year as a member of the A.P.I.D.
  Program. You can only drop from the program at
  the end of the year. The number of classes are
  built based on student selections so there will
  simply be nowhere else to place you!
