We encourage all students to consider Cambridge courses as they plan their academic paths and register for classes each year.9th Grade:Cambridge is open to any 9th grader willing to take on the challenge of honors level, college-preparatory work. Students may take up to five IGCSE level courses including English, Math, World History, Biology, and Spanish in addition to other courses or electives they may choose.10th Grade:During registration for the 10th grade year, rising sophomores will select an academy and an elective focus pathway that will help them focus their studies in preparation for college and/or careers after high school. Academy options at Overton include Health Science, Information Technology, Engineering, and Interdisciplinary Research. Cambridge courses are available to students regardless of the academy they choose. 10th-12th graders may continue taking IGCSE level courses, and they have the option of taking AICE courses, as well. Advanced International Diploma Pathway (AIDP)Students seeking the most challenging college-preparatory path may choose the Advanced International Diploma Pathway (AIDP) in the Academy of Interdisciplinary Research.
