Mandarin AICE Program

COME LEARN ABOUT THE AICE PROGRAM AT MANDARIN HIGH SCHOOL

Parents will be able to learn about the expectations of students in the AICE program. AICE coordinator, Mrs. Jennifer Oglesby, School Administrators, Guidance and current AICE teachers will be available to meet and to discuss our excellent program. In addition, current AICE students will be present to give tours of the school as well as answer any possible questions. In order to be considered for the AICE program, students must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 3.0. Students must obtain a level 4/5 on the eighth grade FSA and have taken Algebra 1 by the end of the 8th grade. Private school candidates must submit a copy of standardized test scores. We look forward to seeing you!

“One of the things we find with students who have studied Cambridge International AS and A Levels is that they have a real depth of understanding of the subject matter that they have had classes in, and a real engagement with it.” - Stuart Schmill, Dean of Admissions, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
