Articulated courses

Students are encouraged to participate in a rigorous course of study while attending Seymour High School.  This rigorous course of study includes; Advanced Placement (AP) Courses, and Early College Experience (ECE) Courses.

Students who participate in AP level courses and who score 3, 4, or 5 have the potential to earn college credit in many public and private universities.  Students who have earned college credit prior to university acceptance are often provided preferential treatment when registering for courses and housing selection.  These students may also earn enough college credits to graduate from the university early.  The table below lists the AP/College level course offered at Seymour High School.
