About ASD

CURRICULUM & GRADING OVERVIEW ASD is a U.S. curriculum school with standards-based grading based on a cumulative year-long calendar.

Some electives are semester-based. ASD offers a rigorous selection of courses including twenty-five that are Advanced Placement. Most APs are reserved for grades 11 & 12. All AP classes taken on campus are weighted 0.25. All students enrolled in an AP course are required to write the AP exam. ASD does not offer honors classes, rank, or require community or service learning. A minimum of 25 credits are required for graduation.

Unique Programs

Each of the following programs are application based:

AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA Students choose from 25 Advanced Placement courses including Capstone, a culminating two-year credential program in which students complete in depth research on world phenomena.

GLOBAL ONLINE ACADEMY ASD partners with GOA to provide students with rigorous authentic distance learning opportunities.

This learning opportunity challenges students to develop core competencies and global citizenship skills.

SELF-DIRECTED PROJECT Students choose an area of study that fits within local and global context and connect it to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This student-driven course supports the development and growth of the ASD student profile attributes.

INTERNSHIP An inquiry-based pedagogical approach that provides opportunities for students to coconstruct their learning. They participate in rich experiences in a community outside school, reflect on those experiences to derive meaning, and apply their learning to influence their decisions and actions in various aspects of their lives.
