What is Single Subject Acceleration (SSA)?

Single Subject Acceleration (SSA) is the practice of assigning a student to a higher-grade level than is typical, given the student's age, for the purpose of providing access to appropriately challenging learning opportunities. SSA is an acceleration practice that allows students to show mastery of the content of a course without having taken the course.

What is the process for Single Subject Acceleration?

Parents can nominate his/her child to skip a grade level of content in either Language Arts OR Mathematics (in the Spring of 2025 for placement for the 25-26 school year).

Only students who are enrolled and attending WCPSS schools during the previous Nomination and Testing Windows will be eligible to participate in the in SSA during the upcoming school year. Schools will offer differentiation as needed for students entering WCPSS after the SSA deadlines.

More specific details will be shared in Mrs. Guza's informational meeting. At the meeting, parents will also have an opportunity to ask questions.

Will an AIG student receive gifted services even if they are participating in SSA ?

Yes. Participating in SSA is not considered AIG services, therefore identified AIG students will receive gifted services as outlined in their Differentiated Education Plan (DEP), as an extension of grade-level standards. A student does not have to be identified in the Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Program to participate in SSA.

If you have inquiries about this process, please contact Mrs. Guza (kguza2).
