AHS AOIT Recognized as "Distinguished"
Congratulations to AOIT alumni, students, parents, teachers, administration and advisory board for being named one of only thirteen NAF academies nationwide to reach "Distinguished" status! Read more at naf.org.Class of 2016 - Applying for AOIT
The AOIT online application is now available. Please complete this online application no later than 4/30/2012.
Any rising ninth grader who is assigned to or requests Apex High can submit an application. After final school assignments are set in mid May, only students who are officially assigned to AHS will remain in the lottery pool. After siblings of AOIT students are given a spot, a lottery is used to fill the remaining spots and to create a wait list. We accept 90 rising ninth graders. All students will be notified around the end of May or early June. The wait list is used to fill openings that occur anytime through the students' 10th grade year.
The application includes an essay and two teacher names/emails who will provide a recommendation for the student. All students who are on the standard course of study and submit an application will go into the lottery pool.
