Starting in the 2011–12 school year, Aoba-Japan International School (A-JIS) will commence an innovative high school experience for students in grades 10–12, where students will be enrolled in an online learning program at A-JIS.
As part of this program, A-JIS will be offering an advanced scholars program where students will be able to take university courses both online and as non-matriculated students at a local college. Students will be able to receive both high school and university credit for courses they complete.
One powerful advantage of the program is that students will be able to explore post-secondary options while maintaining the structure and support of a high school program. Students within the program will have the opportunity to complete nearly two years of college coursework, demonstrating to universities that they are ready and able to face the challenges of a college or university program.
