ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Benefits of Advanced Placement

The Advanced Placement (AP) program offers students the opportunity to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. It also gives them the opportunity to show they have mastered the advanced material by taking AP exams.

Benefits of AP Document (PDF Format)

Advanced Placement (AP), a program developed by the College Board, enables high school students to study college-level material through enrollment in an AP course. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the subject by taking an AP exam in May. Based on these AP scores, colleges and universities may then grant credit, placement or both. Students can benefit from these courses by learning a subject in greater depth, developing skills critically important to successful study in college, and demonstrating their willingness to undertake a challenging course. Students interested in enrolling in AP classes will need to get an application packet from the class instructor. The Olympia Scholars Award is presented to graduating seniors who have taken a challenging course of study throughout high school and have demonstrated excellence in extra-curricular activities. For Olympia Scholar Award application requirements and forms, please go to: Olympia Scholar Program.
