Advanced Placement (AP) Courses

Advanced Placement (AP) courses at School for Classics High School give students the opportunity to engage in rigorous, college-level coursework while developing the critical thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills needed for success in higher education and beyond.

We believe that all students should have access to challenging academic opportunities and the support needed to succeed. In keeping with our commitment to educational equity and inclusion, School for Classics strives to remove traditional barriers to AP enrollment, including GPA requirements, standardized test scores, prerequisite course grades, teacher recommendations, and guidance counselor recommendations.

Our goal is to encourage students to challenge themselves academically, explore their interests, and recognize their potential. Rather than limiting opportunities based solely on past academic performance, we seek to create an environment where students are empowered to pursue advanced coursework and grow as learners. The primary academic consideration for AP course enrollment is that students are on track to earn the required credits in their subject area of interest.
