AP Self Study

Students are welcome but not encouraged to take self study options for AP courses. AP courses require extreme rigor and are best taken in a standard classroom environment at Ridgewood High School.

Any student taking the self-study option will be afforded the opportunity to take the AP exam at Ridgewood HS for courses we offer. Please understand the self-study option will not count for high school credit or appear on the transcript.
