AICE courses are college-level courses, emphasizing more analytical reasoning, collaboration and research with a heavy emphasis on clear, concise writing skills. Because these courses require a higher level analysis than the typical high school courses, students should expect them to move at a faster pace and to spend more time studying than other high school courses.
