Acceleration Programs allow highly motivated students the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school. The AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education), Advanced Placement (AP) Honors, Early College and the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs are intended to serve students who reside within the attendance area of each school but may serve other students from outside the attendance area on a space available basis. Acceleration Programs located at Robert E. Lee, Mandarin, Paxon School for Advanced Studies and Stanton are also magnet programs. The magnet lottery is not used for admission to the acceleration programs.
Transportation is not provided to the non-magnet Acceleration Programs. However, students accepted into the AICE, IB or Early College at William M. Raines and Jean Ribault may access available magnet transportation on a space available basis.
