Cambridge Academy Contract

The Honor Code was created to establish a common understanding as to what constitutes cheating. The penalties are intended to promote growth in character and not simply as punishment.

  • Follow all rules of Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School as outlined in the Student Handbook and Miami-Dade County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct.
  • Certify that each piece of work submitted will be my own work and done by my own hand.
  • Students will take at least seven AICE classes and the corresponding AICE exams during their junior and senior years of high school.
  • Understand that the AICE exam schedule includes exams administered during the months of May and June after my child’s junior and senior years. I agree to take those exams at Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School when scheduled. The University of Cambridge, not Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School, determines the examination dates for each subject each year.
  • I understand that Advanced International Certification of Education level classes require embedded examination and that I must take these examinations to receive credit for the courses.

Penalties for Honor Code Violations will be based upon the severity of the violation and may include but are not limited to the following:

  • Parent conference
  • Written reprimand (Referral)
  • Dismissal from the Cambridge Academy

Academic and Attendance Policy

  • Students must maintain a cumulative 3.0 unweighted grade point average in Pre-AICE courses in grades 9 and 10 to enter AICE classes in grade 11.
  • Academic Probation: Students’ unweighted GPA is lower than a 3.0 during a nine weeks grading period. Student and parents will be informed that the student has not demonstrated the necessary academic behaviors for success in the academy.
  • Academic Warning: During the grading period immediately following the above probation, the student must demonstrate sufficient progress, or in the next grading period after, he/she will be exited from the Cambridge Academy.
  • Students in 11th grade who fail to earn a minimum of three points towards the AICE Diploma will have their status in the academy re-evaluated and schedule changed accordingly. This will also remove the student from the AICE Diploma eligibility roster.
  • Conferences: Will be held with the student, parent and coordinator during this process, to provide recommendations for alternative plans for the student (i.e. required tutoring, counseling and a different academy placement).
  • Students must maintain an acceptable attendance and discipline record at all times.
  • Students in the Cambridge Academy must complete 100 community service hours.
  • Acceptance and continuance in the Cambridge (AICE) Academy is based upon passing on all sections of the FSA and/or EOC exams.
I am aware of the honor code, academic and attendance policy, and admissions procedures as stated in this contract and assume all of the responsibilities stated. I also understand that sitting for the external examinations administered by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is mandatory. I am aware that some of these examinations are scheduled during the summer and failure to sit for examinations will result in issuance of a financial obligation. I understand that any violation of these procedures can result in immediate dismissal from the Cambridge Academy. By signing your name in the space above, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Cambridge Academy's Contract and that you accept the terms of the contract.
I hereby grant permission and consent for my son/daughter to enroll in the Cambridge Academy at Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School and agree to all terms of this contract. I understand by signing this form, I am granting permission for Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School to review my student’s grades, standardized test scores and cumulative records. By signing your name in the space above, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Cambridge Academy's Contract and that you accept the terms of the contract.
