Templeton Unified Announces a New Program for High Achieving Students

Are you interested in having your student attend a prestigious four-year university like Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley or Cal Poly San Luis Obispo? If so, Templeton Unified School District has a unique program to support you in this endeavor. As the county’s academic leader for the last decade, Templeton has the faculty, resources and track record to deliver the excellent outcomes required to secure acceptance to these competitive institutions. Using research-based practices and the principles of the highly successful Endeavor Program and Biotech Institute, Templeton is opening the Academic Achievement Academy in the fall of 2017-18.

Templeton’s Academic Achievement Academy or Triple A is a Transitional kindergarten- grade 12 program explicitly designed to maximize your student’s educational outcomes. Students may enter Triple A at any time but will enjoy the greatest success by enrolling early in the primary grades. Triple A is available to any local resident demonstrating the skill and disposition to meet the rigorous demands of the program. Participants are required to maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 and an attendance rate of 95%. Interested families should contact their principal for specific details.

Unlike other school districts that provide a few of the components of the Triple A program at some school sites, Templeton’s grade configuration and size allows us to provide the following to all students accepted into the program:

Elementary components:

Parent involvement
Lowest primary class sizes in the north county
Primary language arts instruction occurring in skill-based flexible groupings
After school extensions for advanced learning
Summer school programs focused on applied and enriched learning
Incentive programs for independent reading and mastery of basic math facts
Public speaking requirement at the end of all grade spans
Student led conferences focused on displaying mastery and ownership of educational outcomes
Evening programs devoted to extension projects in science, engineering and math
Social science and English related choir and drama performances
Music instruction, including strings, leading to every student reading notes

Middle School components

College Board approved pre-Academic Placement in English
Algebra math acceleration that doesn’t compact or eliminate critical content standards
Foreign language courses which satisfy A-G requirements
Concurrent enrollment in advanced high school courses
Flipped, paperless classrooms
Instrumental music for students and opportunity to join high school marching band
Engineering and Maker Space courses align with high school CTE pathways

High school components

The most rigorous graduation requirements in the county
Widest range of Advanced Placement courses
College Board approved Capstone courses earning diploma distinction
Dual enrollment at any community college in the state, including Cuesta
Lowest ratio of students to counselors ensuring individualized college application process
Community service, internship and volunteer requirements differentiate participants from other college applicants
Two free periods to pursue additional coursework or enrichment opportunities
High school math sequence yielding two-three AP courses prior to graduation
Required to take English, math, science and social science all four years of high school
Senior project or thesis publicly presented to expert panelists

Limited space is available for non-residents who wish to pursue this unique opportunity using the inter-district transfer process. Triple A meets one of the criteria required by the county Board of Education in order to secure release from your district of residency. The deadline for non-residents to apply for the program is June 1, 2017. Act now in order to avoid missing out on this exclusive and unique program which will deliver the premier educational experience for your student.
