Honours courses at University Hill:

Are courses that are chosen in that they better prepare students for curriculum covered at the university level.Are locally developed courses that offer the same curriculum that non-honours courses offer but are more challenging in that they also cover the Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum over two years.

Cover the AP curriculum; however these courses DO NOT show as an AP course on a University Hill transcript but as Honours course. Any AP course credit given by a university will come as a result of the student’s score on the AP exam if they choose to write it.

Do not require that the AP exam for that course be written.

University Hill Secondary currently offers Honours courses in the following areas:

Biology

Chemistry

Physics

It is highly recommended that students have a minimum of a B average in Science 10 in order to select Honours courses for the following school year.

Teachers will consider both marks and previous work habits of the students if course requests exceed spaces available.

Priority for Honours 11 courses go to students in grade eleven.

Current grade nine students that take Science 10 at summer school may not be guaranteed admission to any Honours courses even if they meet the minimum requirements. Priority for these courses will go to students that take Science 10 at University Hill.

Please note that all Regular and Honours students are eligible to write the AP Exams in May of each year, but only Honours students will have covered the AP curriculum in class.
