Ninth grade
Students in AGS study a standards-based curriculum that prepares them to meet the requirements of the new Ohio Core Standards in English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students are required to study four years of Spanish or Mandarin Chinese. Global themes are integrated in an interdisciplinary fashion through a Project-Based Learning (PBL) environment. Students also take a yearly Global Seminar course, as well as complete a Senior Capstone requirement and fulfill service hours. AGS also features a "Model UN" program where students compete with other US high schools. Ninth grade students have the opportunity to experience the "Heifer Ranch" as part of a field trip to Little Rock, Arkansas.
