What is the Vision of Accelerated
Middle School (A.M.S.)?

 

 
AMS offers middle school students the opportunity to become academically accomplished, confident and well-rounded individuals by…
 
· Participating in an accelerated, rigorous curriculum focused on developing foundational knowledge and analytical reasoning skill.
 
· Cultivating a culture of excellence through the development and implementation of personalized learning plans that set students on the right path through high school to attain entrance into the University of their Choice.
 
· Developing conscientious, respectful and accomplished young men and women through leadership experiences within and outside of the school community.
