in a more meaningful manner.
An increased demand for scien
tists and mathematicians creat
ed a need for the more talented
students to proceed at a faster

This program is not geared
for just college-bound students.
It is designed to benefit all stu
dents. A student may move
through the program at any rate
he is capable of. For example,

as early as eighth grade or as
late as the senior year.
