  • Want to Join?

    The Cambridge Program is open to all students who are working hard and wish to push themselves. We ask that you are eligible to take an honors level course in CMS (a C or better in the pervious course) and that you are a hard worker, a collaborator, and willing to try new ways of learning. Talk to your site coordinator, your teachers, and your school counselors about taking Cambridge IGCSE courses or an AS course for the opportunity to earn college credit. If you are interested in the AICE Diploma and are currently a freshman or sophomore talk to your site coordinator to create a schedule that will help you reach this goal. This is a program that fits your needs and your goals.
