Alexandria City Public Schools
Advanced Academic Services (AAS)
A three-tier continuum provides classroom challenge for all learners, general intellectual services, and subject-specific advanced academic services.
How services work: K–3 general-intellectual enrichment, direct and classroom-based subject services in grades 3–5, and advanced courses, independent study, dual enrollment, and Governor’s School opportunities in grades 6–12.
How students are identified: Universal screening creates automatic referrals using ability, achievement, local rating-scale, Young Scholars, and prior-service evidence; a multidisciplinary review determines eligibility.
