General Program Description
Students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses get a feel for the rigors of
college/university level studies within the support of a high school
environment. Students taking AP courses demonstrate to post-secondary
admissions officers that they have sought out an educational experience that
will prepare them for success at college/university and beyond.
Each AP course concludes with optional a college/university level exam
developed and scored by post-secondary faculty and experienced AP
teachers. The exception to these exams is within the Studio Art stream, which
requires the submission of a portfolio of their work. The AP organization
charges a fee of $160.00, to be paid by the student, for each exam.
Students who are successful in AP courses are able to enroll directly into the
second-year course at the post-secondary institution they attend, subject to
the policies of that institution.
