Welcome!
Dear Prospective Students and Parents:Welcome to the Advanced Academy of Georgia web site! If you have discovered this web site and are reading this letter, you may be looking for an alternative to the last two years in high school for either yourself or your child. You may have more questions than answers, questions such as: "How can I get ahead in my academic career?" "I am neither stimulated nor challenged in my current situation. Is something else out there for me?" "My child is bored in school. How can I help him or her?" We believe that answers to these and other questions will be discovered herein.
The Advanced Academy of Georgia is located on the campus of the University of West Georgia and is a residential, early-entrance-to-college program for gifted and talented students who wish to accelerate their academic programs. We have a diverse student body that comes from Georgia and beyond, including international students.
Our students take college classes, exclusively, that are taught by University faculty. In this way an exceptional high school student can advance from being a high school junior to a college junior in two years. The Academy is designed for intellectually gifted and motivated high school students who find themselves yearning for a curriculum that is more challenging, more exciting, faster-paced, and less restrictive than that which they currently have.
At the same time, our award-winning residence hall staff and programs ensure that opportunities are provided for students' balanced academic and personal growth by regularly offering community service, social, cultural, and leadership activities.
Hope to see you on campus!
Sincerely,
Advanced Academy Director
