Advanced STEAM Academics Program (ASAP)

Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy is proud to introduce a new opportunity for high achieving students in grades 5-8, the Advanced STEAM Academics Program, or ASAP. ASAP is designed to challenge already gifted students through a specialized and accelerated mathematics, technology/engineering, and science curriculum, offered in addition to the normal course of study. Creativity, curiosity, critical thinking and self-motivation are the hallmarks of ASAP scholars.
Students may enter the program as 5th, 6th or 7th graders, and once enrolled, will continue ASAP coursework through the completion of 8th grade. Those who complete the ASAP program will receive the Junior Scholar Award at the end of the eighth grade.
 
Students who progress through this challenging curriculum are well poised to segue into the STEAM or Global Citizenship diploma tracks in grades 9-12. Gifted students applying for 8th grade admission to Holy Trinity can be considered for matriculation into Holy Trinity’s STEAM or Global Citizenship diploma tracks. Learn more about Holy Trinity’s specialty diploma tracks. View a sample of the course options offered to ASAP scholars.
