Admissions
MAPPS is a demanding college-preparatory curriculum; therefore, admission into MAPPS is selective. Spaces in the freshman class are awarded on a selective basis.The first step in the process is for students to determine their long-range goals. MAPPS is for students who are serious about preparing for college. Students should submit an application for admission only after determining that MAPPS meets their educational goals.
Students applying to MAPPS must present a middle school record that demonstrates academic talent. Students will find in the application minimum requirements for grade point average and standardized test results. Teacher recommendations are also an important tool in evaluating students' work habits and attitude in middle school.
After the selection process is complete, all students will receive a letter concerning their status in the program. Students who are admitted to MAPPS will meet with the freshman MAPPS counselor during the spring to select their program of study for the fall. Curriculum options listed on the following pages will be explained by the MAPPS counselor. Students do not have to make a choice immediately as to their area of concentration. All freshmen will enroll in a core curriculum and take Pre-AP courses in the basic disciplines.
