Learning for Mastery

Hyde Park Middle School and the Academy of Science and Mathematics are very pleased to announce that we have been selected as one of 10 middle schools in the United States as a Pre-AP Partner by the College Board.
Hyde Park was selected to be one of the first to implement Pre-AP in middle school in Fall 2019. We were selected by the College Board because of Hyde Park’s outstanding commitment to academic rigor. We are committed to ensuring that our students are prepared for advanced placement and other college-level coursework.
Advanced Placement courses are college-level classes offered in high school. Rather than programs of instruction, these courses incorporate rigorous course content and teaching techniques typically used in college courses. Pre-Advanced Placement courses have traditionally provided introductory work to high school students in preparation for enrollment in AP courses.
Hyde Park’s selection means that we will be providing our students with high school work in middle school. We have been working towards this goal and are very pleased to announce full implementation for the 2019-2020 school year.
