Description
 
 
The Advanced Academy at the University of Georgia is a program at the State University of West Georgia that provides a bridge for an early transition to college for gifted students. Students can combine the last two years of high school with the first two years of college, and earn concurrent credit. The curriculum can be chosen from any academic area, and guidance counselors assist students in their choices. Academy students live in a separate professionally staffed hall with rules that are consistent with the needs of younger students. The program provides many activities, such as after-class programs and seminars, fine arts activities, and intramurals. The web site provides information about the application process, admittance requirements, and fees.

This is an excellent program for profoundly intelligent young people who are ready for college curriculum and life at an early age. The program allows the student to go from a high school junior to a college junior in two years, earning both high school and college credits.

This school offers many options to young students. They allow course auditing and distance education through videoconferencing or online courses. They offer joint enrollment for high school juniors and seniors. They also have an honors college that high school seniors and undergrads can apply to. It seems that this school provides many choices for young scholars to give them access to college.
