High School Recruitment

• We provide a rigorous and engaging academic program that prepares our students to succeed on all standardized exams.  ABCD students are challenged in the classroom to reach beyond their limits.
• Algebra I and US History Regents exams in 8^th or 9^th grade, where other high schools offer none until 10^th grade
• PSAT taken in 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th grades, where other schools only offer it in 11^th grade
• SAT taken in 11^th and 12^th grades, where other schools only offer it in 12^th grade
  College credit earned before graduation through college-level exams or special courses offered at ABCD, where other schools offer none

 B usiness Courses

Students are required to take our Business Education & Technology course in every grade.  The curriculum is specifically designed to support the Math and English covered on standardized exams and to prepare students for a college major in Business, Economics, or a related field of study.

College Tours

Students are required to go on College Tours in every grade.  We believe that exposure to colleges makes the possibility a reality.  The variety will make our students the most knowledgeable college applicants in the nation.

Dedication and Discipline

Being an all-boys school, we teach our students the dedication and discipline necessary to become productive and successful adults.

• Our students wear uniforms that get more formal towards graduation, beginning with “business causal” polo shirts in middle school and button-down shirts with ties in high school.
• In Advisory, we follow the ABCD Brotherhood Curriculum where we address such topics as self-awareness, conflict resolution, manhood, and shared history.
• To further promote the ideal of Brotherhood, each incoming 6^th grader is mentored by a 9^th grader and they follow each other for 3 years.  When the 6^th grader becomes a 9^th grader, he will then mentor a 6^th grader.  When the 9^th grader becomes a 12^th grader, he will have an adult mentor.
