CAAP - Charter's Academically Accelerated Pathway

We are committed to ensuring that every student receives the support and opportunities they need to thrive at AGCS.

CAAP is designed to meet the unique academic needs of our advanced students. Unlike traditional districts, we focus on your child's demonstrated high academic performance and work ethic. Your child will received daily instruction in all content areas, with one teacher, that accelerates their learning through innovative experiences.

CAAP is Unique

As a charter school, our approach differs from traditional public districts. We do not assess students for "giftedness." Instead, CAAP supports students who demonstrate high academic performance (as opposed to IQ testing) coupled with a strong work ethic. Students receive daily instruction that accelerates their learning.

Qualifying for CAAP

Throughtout the school year, we use multiple data points to identify students who consistently perform above the 85th percentile on standardized tests, benchmark data, and classroom-based assessments.

Students are notified in August of their CAAP placement. Once placement is accepted, the students are placed in a grade level CAAP class. They remain in CAAP for the entire school year. Placement is fluid and adjustments are based on student need

CAAP Teachers

What makes CAAP unique is that students are taught by a grade level CAAP Teacher who specializes in developing lessons that dig deeper into content through rich, innovative experiences.
