Our students do continuous assessments through Performance Tasks, Knowledge and Skill Quizzes, Essential Questions, Habits of Mind, and project-based learning assigned on Class Dojo and Google Classroom. Although, students can complete unfinished tasks from home. We also have parent-student-teacher conferences (PTSCs) three times in an academic year to discuss and learn about the student's academic progress.

AP stands for Advanced Placement subjects. They are college-level subjects that students can take in high school, and get a head start on their university/college preparations.

The AP program is a rigorous program designed for diligent CIA FIRST students, as recommended by the teacher. Each AP elective costs $75, with the optional exam fee of $130 per elective. Each AP Seminar/Research costs $145.

If the students do not meet the graduation credit requirements, the first option is to take summer classes to make up their credits. And if they still earn below 24 credits, they can get only a formal “Letter of Attendance” certificate.
