Fort Bragg Schools

Advanced Academic Programs and Services (AAPS)

Fort Bragg Schools follow DoDEA's inclusive advanced-academic framework, which develops potential from kindergarten and increases service intensity as learner needs increase.

How services work: The DoDEA levels-of-service model includes critical and creative thinking, classroom differentiation, flexible or fixed cluster grouping, resource-teacher collaboration, content extensions, interdisciplinary learning, individualized support, acceleration, and advanced secondary coursework.

How students are identified: DoDEA screens second-graders with CogAT and may administer the full battery as needed. Formal review for higher service levels uses multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria, including ability data, teacher and family input, observations, work, interests, and demonstrated need.
