What is the AICE Program?
Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Program
The Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Program offers a rigorous international pre-university curriculum and examination system which emphasizes the value of broad and balanced study for academically advanced students. The AICE Diploma Award is a group certificate which requires students to draw from three curriculum areas. The areas are Mathematics & Sciences, Languages, and Arts & Humanities. Students must pass a total of six exams with at least one in each of the three curriculum areas. Students who earn an AICE diploma and have 75 hours of community service qualify for the 100% Bright Futures Scholarship. (The SAT/ACT requirement is waived.)
Florida's public community colleges and universities award college credit for successfully passed exams. This website provides the college course equivalents for passed exams:
