Is Designed to function as a gifted program with the student remaining in their current school. Parents choose which subject (s) they wish to accelerate, and the student takes those classes at Dominion Prep moving ahead of their peers. Because Dominion Prep is fully accredited, with high scores, by Cognia-AdvancED-SACS, the law in the United States and many developed countries requires public schools to accept these credits. Reputable private schools also accept these credits. Students should not have to retake these classes at their current school. If your school has an issue with these credits – please email info@dominionprep.org to resolve the issue.
Gifted program classes accelerated subjects include:
- Math Acceleration Students who are 11 years old may start with Intro to Algebra (M-7) and complete the six standard (two semester) math classes in as little as three calendar years cumulating in Calculus (M-12) at age 14. We recommend and expect most students to complete these classes is four years at 15 to 16 years old. Even accelerated students need a semester off now and again.
- Other Acceleration Pathways can be built around subjects such as Social Sciences, Business, Leadership, Art and Design and the Law.
- Science Acceleration uses a wider variety of science studies than state requirements with high levels of subject matter while still in high school. In addition to Biology (S-8) , and Chemistry (S-10), Dominion Prep Science includes: Earth Science, Geology, Astronomy (S-7), Physics 1, Newtonian and Energy (S-9), Physics 2 Quantum & String Theory (S-12). Many of our students follow up with classes like college biology, college organic chemistry, and college gross anatomy before they graduate from high school.
- Accelerated pathways may also include college course work on college campuses and internships. The Programs Foundation
