Abstract	This case study sought to gain a better understanding of the impact of the Cambridge Acceleration Program on students' transition from high school to college at one American university. The findings from an online questionnaire indicate that many participants develop a range of skills that are perceived as important in the context of university study. The program also facilitates the process of transition to an increased level of college demand. (As Provided).
