Advanced Placement Courses

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are recognized worldwide for their academic rigor and often a requirement for admission to top universities. They introduce high school students to first-year college content in a broad array of subjects. High performance on AP exams can earn students college credit at some universities, including the University of California system. Some universities outside of the US will require a particular set of AP courses and exams as part of admissions.

Advanced Study Courses

Advanced Studies (Adv) courses are designed by our faculty to provide in-depth study in topics that are more typically explored in 2nd or 3rd year University courses. These courses emphasize a project-based or research-based approach. They are honors-designated and recognized for being equal in rigor to AP classes.
