Advanced Placement And International Baccalaurete
All high schools offer Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) programs. University admissions personnel recognize that students who have taken even one Advanced Placement course are better prepared for success in college and other post secondary institutions. Students may select AP courses in a variety of academic areas. High scores on Advanced Placement exams are accepted for college credit by many universities. International Baccalaureate Diploma or Certificate candidates also have the possibility to earn college credit. The IB Diploma Program engages students in internationally high standards in academics, Theory of Knowledge, and CAS (Creativity, Action, and Service); providing a comprehensive, in-depth preparation for university studies in institutions around the world.
