High School Accelerated Programs

Overview

In high school, students have a variety of options for engaging in advanced-level work. These options include Running Start, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College in the High School. Students do not need to be qualified for Highly Capable services in order to enroll in any of these programs. 
 

High school counselors work with students to advise them of opportunities for advanced learning. Some of these opportunities, such as Career and Technical Education, may only be offered at specific locations. 

If you are considering taking an IB or AP course, the Washington Student Achievement Council has additional information that may be helpful to you: 

High school students should work with their guidance counselors to develop an academic plan that best fits their needs, preferences, and goals.
