The AICE  program is a not for profit international pre-university preparation program, part of the Cambridge Assessment Group, and a department of the University of Cambridge in England.

More than 10,000 schools offer Cambridge programs in 160 countries across six global regions. Over 150 schools in Florida and over 200 across the United States offer The Cambridge Program.

All 12 public Florida State University System colleges/universities, 100% of Ivy League institutions, and over 640 universities across the United States accept AICE credits-by-exam, with varying policies. 

The Cambridge AICE Diploma is a group certificate which requires learners to study a compulsory core subject, Cambridge AS Level Global Perspectives & Research, with Cambridge AS & A Level subjects drawn from three curriculum areas: mathematics and science (Group 1), languages (Group 2), and arts and humanities (Group 3). There is the option to study interdisciplinary subjects (Group 4).  

Learners must pass a combination of Cambridge International AS & A Level exams, with at least one course coming from each of three subject groups, as well as the core component, Cambridge International AS Level Global Perspectives & Research.

Cambridge and AP both offer rigorous learning experiences preparing students for higher education. Although they are both means of acceleration for students, AICE and AP courses do have differences in curriculum, exam style, and implications on post secondary goals. 

For more information around the accelerated courses WOHS provides including CTE, Dual Enrollment, AP or Cambridge AICE students should meet with their Counselor.
