Rockledge
High School Cambridge Program
As part of the District’s focus on rigor, relevance and relationships,
Rockledge High School has adopted the Advanced International Certificate in Education
(AICE) program. AICE, part of the University of Cambridge’s Cambridge International
Examinations (CIE) program, is a challenging, accelerated curriculum that is
based on Britain’s A Level examinations. It is a four-year curriculum that
progresses from two years of preparatory classes to entrance in the AICE diploma
program.
The AICE diploma is an international, secondary education diploma that signifies
the successful completion of the AICE curriculum. In order to earn the AICE diploma
a student must pass six international examinations spread across three areas — Math
and Science, Languages and Arts and Humanities. Students must pass at least one
examination from each area and a total of six to earn the diploma. In addition
to earning college credit for each examination passed, students who have earned
the diploma will also automatically qualify for the full Bright Futures Scholarship.
Perhaps the most unique part of the AICE program is the flexibility of the curriculum.
If a student’s strength is in math and science, the majority of the classes
can be taken from this curricular area. If history and humanities are a strength,
a student can focus on the arts and humanities area. The flexibility allows students
to focus their secondary education on their particular strengths and areas of
interest. This not only makes the information more relevant to the student, but
also allows each to rigorously study subjects of interest. In addition, the AICE
program has a vast array of course offerings that will allow students to individualize
their educational experiences.
Overall, the AICE program will allow the students of Rockledge High School to
gain not only a rigorous education but to develop an international perspective
so that they may be effective members of the global community. Because of the
high quality of the education and the flexibility it offers, the AICE program
will prepare students for university life.
