The Academic Talent Program (ATP) is a program in some schools in Western Australia in the subjects of English, society and environment, mathematics and science. This program is specially for lower school (years 8, 9 and 10) secondary students who excel academically. The ATP course is much more accelerated than the mainstream course as students with potential are likely to be smart and quick learners. This program also places a lot of importance in the technology continuum to allow students to adapt with today's cutting edge technology. ATP Online is a program allowing rural students participate in the ATP through the internet. The ATP program is being phased into upper school (year 11 and 12) in the near future.
