Class of 2016 - Applying for AOIT

The AOIT online application for rising ninth grade students will be available on March 26, 2012. All rising ninth graders who are assigned to or request 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. 
For more information, visit the About AOIT page and read the brochure and FAQs below.
