Cicero School District 99

Accelerated Pathways are academic programs designed to challenge students by providing opportunities to progress through curriculum at a faster pace or engage with more advanced material earlier than traditional grade-level expectations.

Our goal is to support high-achieving and high-potential students through rigorous instruction, flexible pacing, and enrichment opportunities. We aim to nurture curiosity, encourage deeper learning, and prepare students for college and career success.

Students are considered for accelerated pathways based on multiple measures, including standardized test scores, classroom performance, teacher recommendations, and readiness assessments. We also consider student motivation and interest.
