Course Levels Advanced Placement (AP) courses follow a national curriculum which presents college- level work to high school students. The pace of these courses requires above-average skills related to work ethic and thinking and reasoning skills. Reading and written language skills should be above-average in order for students to be successful. AP courses are demanding and require independent study and learning on the part of the student. Honors Level (H) courses require advanced facility with reading and written and spoken language. Strong organizational skills and the ability for a student to work independently are required. Students are challenged to think abstractly and to demonstrate a facility with problem-solving skills in Honors level classes. Strong self-advocacy skills are of benefit at this level.
Course Levels College Prep (CP) courses are the standard college prep courses requiring students to work independently and have strong organizational skills. Average to above-average reading and writing skills are needed for success on this level. General/Resource center courses are available for students with special needs. These classes are based on the recommendation of the Child Study Team for students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These courses are designed to accommodate various learning needs and learning differences.
