Honors and Advanced Placement Courses
Advanced level courses, intended to meet the needs of academically gifted students, are offered in most disciplines. No student may take more than three advanced level classes without the permission of the Principal. Students wishing to register for Honors or A.P. classes must have a cumulative 3.0 grade point average, the approval of the current teacher in the department, and the approval of their counselor. Students who enroll in AP classes are encouraged to take the AP exam in May. A.P. classes will also involve substantial summer assignments. To continue in advanced level courses in a particular department, a student must maintain a “B” average in that subject. Any student may petition for placement in an advanced course at registration time.
