Participating in acceleration courses and programs may save students time and money since they are able to earn academic credit that may apply toward postsecondary degree/certificate requirements. Furthermore, because Florida law exempts high school students from paying tuition for acceleration courses, exams, and instructional materials, these programs offer considerable cost savings to students and families. If students apply the academic credits earned through the various acceleration program options toward degree requirements, they may graduate more quickly from colleges and universities.  Sarasota County Schools offers accelerated coursework sequences to all students who meet the necessary requirements: Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE), Advanced Placement (AP), Career & Technical Education (CTE), Dual Enrollment (DE), and International Baccalaureate (IB). For more information on Accelerated Coursework programs and courses, contact a SCHOOL COUNSELOR or School Administrator.
