New for the 2020-2021 school year is the iAccelerate Academy at Ashbrook High School.

This dynamic, college prep program gives students an opportunity to enjoy all of the academic and extracurricular opportunities provided by a comprehensive high school while taking advantage of college-level courses.  Best of all, students can complete courses to obtain college credit and even work toward obtaining an associate degree.

iAccelerate makes it possible for students to be dually enrolled at Gaston College, explore areas of interest, and complete coursework in a flexible, blended format.  The program is designed to put students a step ahead of their peers as they graduate from high school and head off to college.

Students who will be in the ninth grade or tenth grade for the 2020-2021 school year may apply for this program.  A lottery process will be used to determine the 100 students who will attend (50 from inside the Ashbrook attendance area and 50 from outside the Ashbrook attendance area).

You can learn more about the iAccelerate Academy @ Ashbrook High School by reviewing the resources on this webpage.  If you have questions or need additional information, please send us an email: schoolchoice@gaston.k12.nc.us.
