Advanced Learning Academy (ALA_


 

 

Advanced Learning Academy (ALA) allows students to bridge gaps in learning progressions and provides a preview of the advanced learning expectations as they engage in a compacted curriculum that supports a scaffold approach to accelerated learning. Curriculum compacting and integration within and across contents provides students with a scaffold approach to access accelerated learning and a preview of the content that will be learned during the upcoming academic year.


Students practice fundamental literacy skills through repeated opportunities to read, write, speak, and listen to others as they develop, test, and refine their solutions to a problem using the appropriate technical language and writing taught in the identified accelerated course offerings. The goal of the Advanced Learning Academy (ALA) Summer Preparation Program is to sufficiently expose and prepare students for advanced learning by supporting their development of critical thought, habits of mind dispositions, and key practices that will be explicitly taught and integrated into the content each day.


Middle school students will have the opportunity to engage in accelerated math and accelerated science. 


High school students will have the opportunity to engage in SAT Test Prep or Advanced Placement Preparation.
