Acceleration 

We provide opportunities for students at the secondary level to accelerate through advanced placement courses, online coursework through Michigan Virtual High School, and dual enrollment at local community colleges and universities.  Students also have an opportunity to accelerate their progress through the Michigan Merit Curriculum by taking high school Algebra I and Earth Science courses at the middle school.  Advanced high school students also have the opportunity to accelerate their progress in the Michigan Merit Curriculum by “looping” in our trimester system, taking the equivalent of 1.5 years of coursework in a single school year.  Additionally there are several honors courses that advanced students may take for greater challenge and more credits.  Each year some of our middle school students also have the opportunity to participate in accelerated mathematics and English courses through a collaborative program with Michigan State University.
