Advanced and Accelerated Courses in Middle and High Schools
Academic Pathways to Postsecondary ReadinessPfISD offers Advanced and Accelerated courses classes in middle school and high school. Traditionally these courses have been titled Pre-AP; however, College Board no longer allows school districts to title courses with this designation unless districts use the College Board standardized curriculum and courses. By designing our own curriculum, PFISD is able to offer more Advanced and Accelerated courses in our middle and high schools than College Board currently offers. Using our curriculum with teachers trained in deliverying instructional supports designed to prepare students for Advanced Placement, Dual Credit, and/or OnRamps classes, we provide advanced coursework and instruction to all of our learners who have the desire to accept the challenge.
