Honors/AP World Language
Student registration in an Advanced Placement (AP) is based on academic record, teacher recommendation, and student motivation. AP courses are designed in conjunction with the curriculum expectations of the College Board's AP Program and also seek to prepare students to take the AP exams in May. Students may receive credit and/or AP standing at the college or university they plan to attend. Students and parents must be aware that AP courses are quite rigorous and require a great deal of self-directed study. A teacher recommendation is required before registering for an AP course. Prerequisites listed must be met before a student may enroll in an AP course. A student may enroll in these courses only at the beginning of the school year.
