Advanced Courses in MISD
At MISD, Advanced classes (formerly Pre-AP) gives students the opportunity to practice (at the appropriate level) skills which will enable them to be successful in the upper level AP classes.
To help students prepare for the demands of the Advanced Placement Program, all MISD Intermediate and Middle Schools (grades 6-8) offer Advanced courses inmost of the disciplines, as well as freshman and sophomore courses at MISD high school campuses.
Advanced courses are strongly recommended for students interested in entering the AP program, for they act as a bridge between on-level and AP courses. Any student can enroll in and Advanced course.
Advanced classes will expose students to the type of expectations and activities required by the AP program. Advanced classes lay the foundation for success not only in the upper level classes, but also ultimately in college course work itself. Successful Advanced students are typically task oriented, proficient readers who are able to set priorities with regard to time and responsibilities. Parental support of the program also plays a key role in the success of these students.
