The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is a cooperative educational endeavor of the College Board and high schools. Based on the fact that many young people can complete college-level studies in their secondary schools, it represents a desire of schools and colleges to foster such experiences. Advanced Placement serves three groups: students who wish to pursue college-level studies while still in secondary school, schools that desire to offer these opportunities, and colleges that wish to encourage and recognize such achievement. It does this by providing practical descriptions of college-level courses to interested schools and the results of examinations based on these descriptions to the colleges of the students’ choice. Participating colleges, in turn, grant credit and/or appropriate placement to students who have done well on the examinations. Examination fees are charged for each exam. Fee reductions may be available. Honors classes are available for all students. The College Board recommends that students be enrolled in no more than two Honors/AP classes during one school year.
The opportunity to be in Advanced Placement or honors classes carries with it certain assumptions about the skills and maturity of students who will be doing advanced or college level work. It is hoped that students are primarily motivated by an appreciation for the subject and secondarily by GPA or the AP exam. Students wishing to enroll in Honors or Advanced
Placement courses are required to sign a contract to indicate they understand these expectations.
