The AICE-to-AA (AAA) Academy is a pre-collegiate program that combines the benefits of the AICE program in high school and the dual enrollment program at LSSC. Eligible students enter their high school’s AICE program their 9th grade year and take a predetermined list of courses that will eventually lead to their Associate of Arts Degree. During their 9th, 10th, and 11th grade year, students will participate in a variety of pre-collegiate experiences, such as career development activities, field trips, and test prep with a college dual enrollment advisor. In their 12th grade year, they will enroll full time at Lake-Sumter State College as an Early Admission student and complete their high school and college requirements at the same time.

The AAA Academy is currently only available at Leesburg High School.
