Acceleration Programs

Klein ISD Advanced Academics provides a variety of innovative programs at every level, offering students opportunities for academic acceleration and enrichment.

Credit By Exam (CBE)

Credit by Exam/Exam for Acceleration provides an opportunity to earn grade level or course credit in which no prior formal instruction was completed. Credit by Exam is designed for a very small percentage of students who have an academic and emotional need to advance to the next grade level. Credit by Exam is not designed for grade level advancement after a student has been retained in a previous grade level. Typically, less than 5% of students who attempt to skip an entire grade level are successful.
