AOIT Application

NOTE: If performing arts (band, chorus, theater) courses are a priority, please only apply to AOIT if AOIT will be first choice, as there can be scheduling issues in the next four years that do not allow for both AOIT and performing arts.

AOIT students must complete at least one of the sequences below as a requirement. While all 9th graders will take computer applications I, programming students will also take computer programming I in 9th grade. Students may change sequences, but they must take the pre-requisites for each course. Students must have passed or currently be in enrolled in algebra I as a freshmen to take programming I. Students who select the applications sequence must take computer programming I, but it may be taken any year.

I know that the AOIT (Academy of Information Technology) is a four (4) year program that requires specific courses and a paid summer internship between the junior and senior year of high school. The requirements must be met for completion of AOIT. My parents are in agreement with this application and I am interested in being a student in AOIT for 4 years.
