SCHOOL FOR ADVANCED STUDIES TO HOLD TWO INFORMATION SESSIONS FOR 10th-GRADE STUDENTS INTERESTED IN EARLY COLLEGE ADMISSION, MIAMI—School for Advanced Studies (SAS), a full-time, nationally-recognized, dual-enrollment high school, will be holding information/application sessions on Saturday, October 13 for the 2013-2014 school year, at two Miami Dade College (MDC) campuses: North Campus, 11380 N.W. 27th Ave. at 9 a.m. in the Lehman Theatre (Building 5); and Wolfson Campus, 245 N.E. 4th St. at 1 p.m. in Building 3000, Room 3210. All District 10th-grade students with a minimum 3.0 grade point average are invited to apply, and may be admitted for the 11th grade upon passing the College Placement Test administered by MDC. Student selection is based solely on the order in which applicants meet the established criteria. Enrollment is limited. Students attending SAS complete their last two years of high school while attending MDC and, in many cases, simultaneously graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree from MDC. Each semester, students enroll in a minimum of three college dual-enrollment courses taught by MDC faculty and four high school courses, taught by SAS faculty. All high school courses are Advanced Placement courses except for pre-calculus and research. Students receive free tuition and fees, free textbooks, and, if eligible, school bus and Metrorail transportation funded by Miami-Dade County Public Schools. SAS is located on four MDC campuses: Homestead, Kendall, North and Wolfson. # # # 12-JJS/479/DF |
