2026 A²I Summer Acceleration Mathematics Program

What Is the Purpose of this Program?

The Advanced Academic Immersion (A2I) Summer Acceleration Program is designed to prepare students for entry into a rigorous course of study that affords students the opportunity to accelerate their learning in mathematics. A2I enables students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential to success in Advanced Placement (AP) and college courses.

 What is required to enter the program?

• Be enrolled in high school for the Fall of 2026 (Students currently in grades 8 - 11 are eligible)
• Successful completion of prerequisite courses

• Special permission to miss more than two days must be obtained through the Director of Mathematics prior to the beginning of the program.

How will A2I course grade be calculated?

• At the end of the course, students must have completed all weekly assessments and successfully completed the post-test with a grade of 80 or higher in order to receive credit for the course. Students will earn a grade on their transcript based on the grades of the pre-test, weekly assessments and post-test. Percentages are as follows:
  • Weekly assessment average – 40%
  • Post-test – 60%
• Grades will not be calculated into a student's GPA.

How will the STAAR EOC exams be addressed?

• Passing the Algebra I STAAR EOC is required for high school graduation.
• Students who earn Algebra 1 credit in the summer course through A2I, will take their EOC exam in December and are required to participate in a comprehensive review course on their home high school campus to prepare them for the assessment.
