The Advanced Placement Program is a nationally recognized program sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board that allows students to gain college credit through their participation in the Advanced Placement Testing Program. Acceptable scores enable students to earn college credit by demonstrating competence in freshman college-level course work. Classes that are designated as Advanced Placement Courses follow a curriculum that will enable students to gain mastery in the areas tested. Students may also take AP tests in classes that are not deemed AP classes if, after conferring with the instructor, a student is confident in her mastery of the material. In courses that are designated as AP, students take the AP exam in place of the semester final.
Designated AP courses are weighted an additional .5 for a student's grade point average.
The following departments currently offer AP courses:
English
Modern Language
Science
Social Studies
