Feedback on Academic Rigor from Youth Truth Advisory Survey  Most of my teachers apply themselves with an enthusiasm about their subject which is contagious, and this really helps me as a student to gain interest and do well in the subject they teach.”  “In my school they provide us with AP classes which are college level courses which prepares me for college. And because of this I feel like I'm already a college student and not in high school.”  “Having more challenging classes will help me challenge myself in the future and help me understand what I'm against in a career.”

IS THE SCHOLARS ACADEMY RIGHT FOR YOU? Students begin college level, Advanced Placement (AP) coursework in grade 9 with options increasing each year. Students may apply for the IB Diploma Program for grades , or continue with AP and advanced classes. Students must maintain an “unweighted” GPA of 3.0 in the academic core courses of Mathematics, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES AND EXAMS The core curriculum of the Scholars Academy revolves around Honors and Advanced Placement courses and exams. AP courses are high school classes that can count for introductory college coursework when students pass an AP exam. AP exams are scored on a scale of 1-5 by The College Board. Scores of 3 or higher are considered passing, but many universities require scores of 4 or 5 to earn college credit. AP syllabi must be approved by The College Board, ensuring that AP courses are taught at the same high level nationwide.

Scholars Academy students take their first Advanced Placement course in grade 9, and must enroll in a minimum of two AP courses in grades 11 and 12.

Miami Beach Senior High has increased access to its Advanced Placement curriculum, while maintaining a pass rate above the Miami-Dade County Public Schools average.

Students may apply for the IB Diploma Program at the end of the sophomore year. The IB Diploma is based on taking a series of advanced classes in 6 subject areas with both internal and external tests and assessments. Some classes are two years in length. Students also complete requirements by writing an extended essay, doing community service projects, and completing TOK class. The program highlights development of a well-rounded individual with an “international minded” outlook. The IB Diploma curriculum is highly respected and honored by universities throughout the world. Additional information is available at
