Pendleton Heights High School offers 18 Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These courses are college level courses and the curriculum is designed and monitored by The College Board. Students in these courses are expected to participate in the Advanced Placement Testing Program implemented in May of each year. Students in these courses have the opportunity, through the Advanced Placement test results, to earn college credit for coursework completed in high school.
It is strongly encouraged that all college-bound students should complete at least one Advanced Placement course prior to graduation from Pendleton Heights High School.

Testing for these courses occurs during the first two weeks of May each year. The cost of the exams is approximately $100 and registration will occur during first semester. Currently the state of Indiana pays a portion of all science and math courses. Students who receive state assistance for textbook or lunch are also eligible for these tests at a greatly reduced cost.
