AICE Program
Welcome to the Santaluces AICE Program
Santaluces Community High School is proud to offer students the Cambridge International Assessment Program since 2013. We offer students the opportunity to earn college credit and work toward the Cambridge International Diploma. We offer 17 courses that will challenge students to broaden their educational horizons.
What is AICE?
Part of the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Assessment International Education prepares students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning.
AICE Diploma
Earning an AICE Diploma: Candidates must take SEVEN courses and pass all seven exams:
-
- One exam each from Groups 1, 2, 3.
- AS Global Perspectives and Research.
- Three additional Cambridge courses from any Group.
- Only two AICE Diploma points may come from Group 4.
- All SEVEN courses must be completed within three school years (a 25 month period).
- Students may apply for their AICE Diploma in 11th or 12th grade, depending on when they start courses or if they need to retake exams they have not passed.
- There are no make-up dates for Cambridge AICE exams.
- Santaluces High school pays for each exam (students must be enrolled in the class) as well as for the AICE Diploma application.
- Students may choose to take Cambridge courses in addition to the seven required for the AICE Diploma.
