  2. A note about AP’s Advanced Placement courses are college-level courses and students should seriously consider their schedules in totality (including commitments outside of school) to determine whether or not they will have the appropriate time to dedicate to this rigorous course of study. In determining if you should apply for an AP course, remember that the time expected for out of class work is 1:1 to class time (i.e for every hour of in class time you will be spending an hour at home on preparation for that class). You should love the subject and have strong writing and critical reading skills. AP courses also have summer work that must be completed prior to the start of the course in September. Failure to complete summer work or not anticipating the demands of a course are not reasons to drop the class and this will not be permitted.

  3. AP Application Process Students should complete applications online – Guidance website. Must read information sheet on each first. Each department has specific requirements. All applications are due by March 10, 2014. Students should complete apps for any they may be interested in even if unsure right now. Departments will review applications and decisions will be made during the week of April 7th. A note about summer work….

  4. Things to Note… The School Committee requires that any student enrolled in an AP course must take the AP examination. Students who do not take the exam will have the “AP” designation removed from their transcript. Payment for courses with an exam that year is due in the summer. Students who are accepted into and request an AP course on their course selection sheets are expected to remain in the course for the entire year (see course change policy). The Placement Review process does not apply to AP courses. If enrollment for an AP class is insufficient, the class may be combined with the next highest level class in that discipline. If an AP course does not run for whatever reason, students will have to choose an alternative course and will only be permitted to choose another AP course if they have applied and been accepted so consider this when making your decisions.
