AP Rocket Track

An ambitious path. A plan that fits you.

Grades 9–11 AP acceleration, followed by senior-year choice. For academically strong students preparing for U.S. college applications while completing high school online.

Advanced Placement, With Direction

Challenge, paced with purpose.

Students follow Blair Academy’s full graduation program and add an AP course plan beginning in Grade 9. Each plan considers prerequisites, academic performance, workload, and the school’s published AP catalog.

An AP course may replace the corresponding standard course when it fits the student’s graduation plan. The school reviews each Rocket Track plan every semester and adjusts the course load when appropriate.
