New Middle School Honors Academy Announced at Christiana High School -- Applications Will Be Accepted for 6th Grade Students for the 2017-2018 School Year
The Christina School District will offer a new Middle School Honors Academy at Christiana High School beginning with 6th grade in the 2017-2018 school year, with a full 6-8 grade middle school Honors Academy anticipated by Fall 2019. The implementation of the Middle School Honors Academy will eventually create a 6-12 grade option at Christiana High School, which currently offers an Honors Academy for students in grades 9-12.
Students applying to the program will be required to complete an Honors Academy application and a Choice application form, and will be selected based on their application as well as their potential for success in a rigorous academic program in grades 6-12 that will include Honors courses, pre-Advanced Placement (AP) preparation, Advanced Placement classes, and college-level coursework.
The Middle School Honors Academy will be located in the H-wing of Christiana High School, and Middle School Honors Academy students will take classes separate from high school students, but will be able to take advantage of the many resources available in a high school setting.
“The Christina School District is very excited to offer this new option to parents and students,” said Acting Superintendent Dr. Robert Andrzejewski. “Our plan is to have the Middle School Honors Academy grow into a middle school magnet program with a focus on rigorous academics that will eventually serve students in grades 6-8. These students will then have the option to continue in the Christiana High School Honors Academy for grades 9-12. Christina has never had an option for families that encompasses both middle and high school. We hope that the excitement around this program will grow and that we will see interest among Christina families in making it a success next year and in the future.”
Applications will be available soon, and Parent Information Nights are also planned in the coming weeks. More information will be posted as soon as it is available on the District website, Facebook page, and in the District newsletter.

The app. is available now--or at least I've seen a version (is it online yet?). 14 pages, complex point system, entrance exam and other requirements.
