    Single Subject Acceleration- SSA

    • Students meeting qualifying criteria in grades K‐7 can take advanced academic content in mathematics or English Language Arts through Single Subject Acceleration (SSA). This ensures opportunities for appropriate levels of academic challenge.

    • SSA allows students to show mastery of content on select elementary or middle school courses. Students who prove mastery do not have to take the course and may move on to the next level.

    • Parents may nominate their child to skip a grade level of content in either English Language Arts or Mathematics.

    • Students are nominated for SSA by their parents or guardians. They will be assessed at their school based upon grade level. Depending on grade level and subject, this could include a multiple-choice test and/or a writing sample. Your school will have more specific information about this process once your child is nominated.

    • We accept SSA nominations during specific times of spring semester for the following school year.
