From the BCPS Office of Advanced Academics:
"The Baltimore County Public Schools' Blueprint 2.0: Our Way Forward outlines a vision for creating a culture of deliberate excellence for every student. The Office of Advanced Academics
contributes to this system expectation through its commitment to all student who have the capability, potential, or motivation to access responsive, rigorous, and relevant curriculum and instruction.
The Office of Advanced Academics provides vision, leadership, professional development, and advocacy. Additionally, the office engages in research to improve the quality of instruction for all learners.
The Office of Advanced Academics collaborates with content area offices regarding the development, implementation, and enhancement of curricular and instructional experiences that
