Advanced Academics Immersion (A2I) Summer Acceleration Program

2025 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 2025 (Students currently in grades 8 - 11 are eligible)
• Successful completion of prerequisite courses
• Submit an application by Thursday, April 20th, 2025
• Student commitment statement 
• Passing score on appropriate A2I-designed pre-test 

What are the course requirements?

• Attend the course for 110 hours (five hours a day for 22 days). No more than two absences are allowed. More than two absences will be cause for dismissal from the program.  Special permission to miss more than two days must be obtained through the Director of Mathematics prior to the beginning of the program.  Students may not miss the first or last week of the program and must be present to take the post-test on the day of administration.
• At the end of the course, students must have completed all weekly assessments and successfully completed the post-test with a course average of 80 in order to receive credit for the course.

What courses are being offered?

• Students can select one of the following courses:
  • Honors Algebra 1, Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Precalculus

 

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.

 What is the Cost?

Summer Acceleration Program courses are offered at no cost to Fort Worth ISD students who meet the qualifications for the program.
