  1. The advantage would be that advanced students may move at a faster pace, geared to prepare them for the pace of college courses. The advanced students also get a foreign language, which is not offered to standard students.

  3. One of the advantages is pacing. Students in the advanced classes are challenged by the pace of the work. We move much quicker in the advanced classes. This allows them to become accustomed to the pace of future college classwork. Students in the standard classes work at slower pace that allows them more time to assimilate the information.

    Another advantage is the level of independent work. Advanced students are expected to complete more assignments with only guidance from teachers. They may also have more projects that are completed independently with fewer checkpoints. This is further preparation for the amount of responsible independence they will experience in college.

  4. The advantage to standard and advanced classes is the ability to move at a faster pace and push students in both classes at a pace that is more comfortable for each group. All students can move at a pace more suitable to them. There is less risk of going too slow or too fast.

  5. The advantage to separated academic classes would be that advanced classes are able to cover more material over the same time period. Standard classes are usually covering the material at a slower pace.
