AADUSD Academics
A Solid Foundation
Challenging, age-appropriate academics give students what they need to advance, but more importantly, curiosity and discovery in our classrooms create an atmosphere of enthusiastic learning.
College Prep
AP courses are a great way for our college-bound students to level up their college applications. An advanced course goes at a faster pace and covers more material than regular classes - and they look great on a college application.
Enrichment
A well-rounded education includes art, music & choir, internships, field trips, student clubs, and athletics. From TK to graduation, your child will enjoy enrichment activities during and after school.
Dual Enrollment
Ready, Set, GO! Dual enrollment at our local community college allows students to earn early college credits. By taking on college-level courses, students grow in motivation and mindset for success.

CA Cadet Corps

AVID Program
Many students have a desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard but do not truly have the opportunity to be college-ready. These are often the students who will be the first in their families to attend college. By teaching and reinforcing academic behaviors and higher-level thinking from elementary school, teachers help students develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, and college in an age-appropriate and challenging way. Children learn about organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy to prepare for college and careers.
