The Waterbury Public Schools believes strongly that all students should be provided with opportunities to achieve in advanced placement and college-credit bearing courses. To that end, our Advanced Placement program is open to all students across the district. While course prerequisites may exist (e.g., students must take a standard Biology course before taking an Advanced Placement Biology course), previous course levels and/or grades do not preclude a student from enrolling in an Advanced Placement course.  

Some Advanced Placement courses require a summer assignment that is due on the first day of school. Students are responsible for obtaining any summer assignments prior to the end of the previous school year. Because these are college-level courses, students are expected to complete summer assignments by the deadline.
