Cambridge Advanced Program

The Cambridge Advanced Program (PDF) is an internationally-renown program that emphasizes students to think critically, evaluate arguments, communicate clear and well-reasoned arguments, and understand global issues with multiple perspectives. Cambridge is the largest provider of international education programs and qualifications for 5 to 19 years old. The Cambridge Curriculum is modeled in over 9000 schools in more than 160 countries. The program is part of the University of Cambridge, one of the world’s top universities and trusted for excellence in education.

The Cambridge Advanced Curriculum, modeled after Cambridge’s Secondary 1 standards, is a progressive curriculum to prepare students to enter the upper-level Cambridge courses, including the high school distinction of the AICE Diploma. The AICE Diploma will give students a competitive edge into their university of choice. Students who attend the three middle school campuses will automatically be enrolled in the upper-level Cambridge courses in the high school.

The Cambridge Secondary I program is aligned to Florida’s academic standards.
