Advanced Placement
Students in the Academy of Math, Science & Technology matriculate in AP and post-AP courses, and many receive over a year's worth of credit at colleges and universities as a result of their success on the AP exams. Many sophomores take AP Statistics while they are completing their core courses, and all juniors and seniors take advantage of the full array of AP course offerings. The prerequisites for the Advanced Scientific Research and Internship courses are two AP math/science courses. Below is the general description of the AP Program, provided by College Board, followed by links to course descriptions and the 2007 AP Scholar Award recipients.

The Advanced Placement Program® is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools and colleges and universities. Since its inception in 1955, the Program has provided motivated high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. Students who participate in the Program not only gain college-level skills, but in many cases they also earn college credit while they are still in high school. AP courses are taught by dedicated and enthusiastic high school teachers who follow course guidelines developed and published by the College Board.

The Program's success is rooted in the collaborative efforts of motivated students, dedicated teachers, and committed schools. By participating in the Program, secondary schools make the commitment to organize and support at least one class that is equivalent to a first-year college course.

Research indicates that academic intensity of a student's high school curriculum remains the most important pre-collegiate predictor of bachelor degree completion.  The Advanced Placement Program® provides specific rewards for students:

  • Students demonstrate scholarship at national and international levels.
  • Students study in greater depth.
  • Students improve chances of college acceptance.
  • Student may exempt introductory college courses.
  • Students are eligible for AP Scholar awards.
  • Students may be granted sophomore standing in college.
