Advanced Honors Program

MISSION



Cedar Creek School’s programs for the academically gifted are based on the school’s belief that to realize their potential, students must be presented with appropriate challenges.

These programs provide each academically gifted student with educational experiences that stimulate the learner to develop his or her unique abilities and to realize potential.

Judged by this standard, Cedar Creek’s programs have been remarkably successful. Students have scored exceptionally high on college entrance examinations and national measures of achievement.



SCOPE


Cedar Creek School offers subject-based programs for the academically gifted beginning in sixth grade. To compensate for the increased demands of the courses, three points are added to the student’s grade in each Advanced Honors course taken for middle school credit.

One decimal point is added to the overall grade points (used when calculating GPA) for each Advanced Honors course taken for high school credit. Students may earn college credit for their work in Advanced Placement courses.
