SCHOOL FOR ADVANCED STUDIES TO HOLD TWO INFORMATION SESSIONS School for Advanced Studies (SAS), a full-time, dual-enrollment high school, will be holding information/application sessions on Saturday, October 12th for the 2014-2015 school year at two Miami Dade College (MDC) campuses:
Newsweek Magazine ranked SAS in May of 2013 as the sixth Best High School in America. All current District 10th-grade students with a minimum 3.0 unweighted grade-point average are invited to apply, and may become eligible for admission upon satisfying all program requirements, including earning minimum SAS college entrance exam scores. When the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of seats available, a random selection process will be utilized to admit eligible applicants. Enrollment is limited. Students attending SAS complete their last two years of high school while attending MDC and, in most cases, simultaneously graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree from MDC. Students are able to obtain a true college experience since both their college dual-enrollment courses and their Advanced Placement high school courses take place on the MDC campus. All high school courses are Advanced Placement level except for pre-calculus and research. Students can apply from any senior high schools in Miami-Dade County. They receive free tuition, 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. For more information or to apply, call 305-237-0510 or visit the SAS website: http://sas.dadeschools.net. # # # 13-JS/204 |
