Cambridge Academy

 

Advantages:

The Cambridge advance level courses (AS) are equivalent to those of Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB). Completion of the AS level classes and exams may lead to advanced standing at the college level or college credit. The AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) Diploma is an award for a completion of a specific number and type of classes that is recognized at many universities throughout the US in which college credit may be earned.
