ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are options for capable students who want to enrich and challenge themselves in particular subjects by working on university-level material while still in high school. Students must be committed to thinking and working at a high level. Students may take one, or more, AP classes that suit them.

All AP classes require registration in 2 courses.

AP classes prepare students to write Advanced Placement exams in May each year. Students scoring a 4 or a 5 may earn college credits in their discipline.
