Q. Who may participate in the Advanced Studies and Leadership Program (ASLP)?

A. Incoming 8th and 9th grade students who are in the top 20% of their 7th or 8th grade class, based on multiple measures, are notified via a formal letter and invited to apply for participation in the summer program.  

Q. How and when will students be notified?

If students are unable to attend the meeting, please contact the Teaching and Learning Office (508-420-2272 x1329) to request information.
