Academic Enrichment Program

In September 2022, our school will offer the Academic Enrichment Program, which is replacing Pre-Advanced Placement. Edmonton Public Schools is no longer offering Pre-Advanced Placement. 

Like Pre-Advanced Placement, the Academic Enrichment Program will offer junior high students challenging academic experiences by deepening their learning in the core subjects of mathematics, science, English language arts and social studies. The new program will also prepare junior high students for academic programming in high school, including Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate.

By offering a locally designed academic program, the Division can offer schools more flexibility to meet the specific needs of their learning community. Teachers will have greater ability to determine best strategies and instruction methods for their students when teaching topics.
