American Preparatory Academy is thrilled for our annual Winterim program for the 2021-2022 school year. The Winterim term runs from January 4th through January 20th during normal school hours. The day will be divided into four periods, with lunches built around the second period or block.
Students will have the opportunity to choose four courses from the Winterim catalog. These courses are designed to take students deeper into subject areas than they may cover during the normal scope of a course and to explore areas that are not covered in our daily curriculum. By the end of each 10-day course, students will have completed the equivalent of a semester’s worth of curriculum and will often have a completed culminating project they can add to their resume or portfolio.
In addition to the skills and knowledge gained, 9th-12th grade students will receive .50 credits of elective credit towards their high school graduation.
Some Winterim options have a cost associated with the course. These fees are kept as minimal as possible while still covering expenses like field trips, supplies, or other items necessary for the course. Without these fees, we would be unable to offer many of the exciting opportunities available during Winterim.
If you are scheduled for any Winterim courses with a fee, you must pay within a few days of registration to remain in that course. Any student who does not pay the required fee may be dropped from the course and required to schedule a different course.
Due to the limited number of spaces in some Winterim courses, there will be some courses that have a higher demand than there are seats available. Priority will be given to seniors who will have the first registration day. The 11th graders will then be allowed to register next, then the 10th graders and so on until all grades have had the opportunity. Registration is done this way with the understanding that students in a lower grade have several additional years to pick Winterim courses and therefore have many chances to take the courses they want.
Students who are not on level in math and/or latin may be placed in boot camp courses during Winterim to allow them to accelerate. Boot Camp will replace one or two elective classes during Winterim - students in Boot Camp classes will still attend one or two elective Winterim courses.
We will be making decisions about which students to place in these classes prior to the open enrollment dates. When students register for their Winterim classes the Math or Language Arts Boot Camps will already be in their schedule.
