To develop the exceptional abilities of these students, a curriculum which combines acceleration and enrichment is used. Because AAP is offered in a variety of subject areas, students may participate in one, several or all subjects for which they qualify. This program is the only one of its kind in South Carolina and one of only five in the United States. In addition, the district has High School Scholars and Middle School Scholars programs, which consist of agreements between students and the district to take designated, advanced courses and to participate in extracurricular activities, leading to a special diploma. For more information about these programs, contact your principal or the GAAP offices.
All schools offer a well-balanced, nutritious breakfast and lunch at reasonable prices.
The standard lunch includes a choice of meat or other protein, two vegetables, fruit or fruit juice, bread and milk. Reduced-price breakfasts and lunches and free meals are available for students whose families qualify, based upon income and family size. Parents may pay by the quarter or for the entire year. Refunds, upon request, will be issued at the end of the school year for amounts not used. Balances will not be carried forward into the next school year.
