The College Assistance Program (CAP) is an advisory program initiated by Miami-Dade County Public Schools to help students in the process of researching, exploring, and applying to colleges. At ASHS, the program guides students from their 9th grade Research classes to their 12th grade CAP class. From exploring college, technical college, military and work programs, to assisting with testing, to advising on financial aid and scholarship opportunities, our Patriots leave ASHS ready to take the next steps in their post-secondary journey with confidence.
