Student Eligibility
The Accelerated Learning Program is not for all students. It is both demanding and rewarding. It provides students with challenge and enrichment within a motivated and academic peer group. It entails a greater workload and depth of learning in the early years of secondary schooling.
The Accelerated Learning Program is suited to students who:
• Have a strong and positive self-concept
• Have high levels of creativity
• Have a high level of maturity and commitment
• Are motivated and capable of independent learning
Selection Process
The selection process for the Accelerated Learning Program is designed to identify students for whom this type of program is appropriate. The selection process involves formal testing in the areas of:
• Mathematical skills
• Science reasoning
• Reading
• Comprehension
• Creative writing
We also take into consideration:
• Information from the applicant’s parent/s or guardian/s
