Deaf
& Hard of Hearing
Offers students opportunities to continue to
use their chosen communication modality while
they gain independence, experience new friendships
and broaden their horizons in a supportive environment.
Courses are provided through general education
and special education.
Emotional Disabilities
Offers students the opportunity to participate
in general education and special education with
the support of clinical staff. The reduced student/teacher
ratio in core classes allows the program's staff
to address behaviors or emotions that interfere
with learning.
English for Speakers of Other Languages Program
(ESOL)
Offers students academic courses at each ESOL
level. While developing foundational skills,
extending current ability, or refining newly
learned skills, students have opportunities
to interact and communicate with the entire
student body.
Honors Courses
Honors courses offer students who demonstrate
previous high achievement in specific areas
of academic strength the opportunity to experience
the Extended Program of Studies at greater levels
of depth and complexity. Students must meet
FCPS guidelines in reading and in the content
area for Honors placement.

Advanced Academics Program
Frost MS offers the Advanced Academic Program (AAP) for eligible students. The AAP
curriculum is differentiated in depth, breadth
and pace of instruction emphasizing higher-level
thinking. The program provides opportunities
to develop independent research skills. AAP
accelerates math through compacting and incorporates
advanced reading materials. While our AAP
students work with their academic peers in
core subject areas, they are provided with
opportunities to interact with our entire
student body through elective courses, health
and physical education, and after school programs. More information can be found at http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/.
Learning
Disabilities
Offers students support in both self-contained
and team-taught classrooms. The IEP team makes
a recommendation for a combination of courses
based on a child's need. Opportunities for
remediation courses are available each semester.
