Keep up to date on whats going on at AMS!
Dear 6th and 7th Grade Parents,
We want to make sure you are aware of the current Horry County Schools Secondary Program opportunities offered. These are programs that interested students need to apply for in their 8th grade year and if accepted will attend starting in 9th grade. This is important information to know in 6th and 7th grade since some of the programs are very competitive and require superior grades and students to have taken Algebra 1 Honors or English 1 Honors in middle school. Some of the programs you may have heard about are Early College High School, Scholars Academy, and STEM (Academy of AAST and CHS). Eighth grade will be here before you know it and in preparation for high school it is important to find out if any of these programs are an option for your child and if any are a good fit for your child’s future goals. Click the link below to access the HCS Secondary Programs page for more information about the programs. Please be aware that this information and dates are in the process of being updated on the page. http://www.horrycountyschools.net/pages/Horry_County_Schools/Ac2/HCS_Secondary_Programs/ Information on the current number of student accepted into the programs is below: ECHS-Early College High School will offer admissions to approximately 100 students, SA-Scholars Academy will offer admissions to approximately 50 students, and STEM at AAST-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics will offer admissions to approximately 120 students. There is no maximum number of students that will be accepted into the IB programs. Students may apply for the IB program in grades 8 – 10, provided they have had the appropriate coursework. Students may only enter ECHS, SA, and STEM as rising 9th graders. Do not be confused by the 11th and 12th grade majors programs at ATA and AAST Students may only enter the majors programs at ATA and AAST as rising 11th graders (apply in 10th grade).
