Advanced Placement Classes​

CSHM offers a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses approved by the College Board. Students enrolled in an AP course are required to take the corresponding AP exam in May and to sign an AP course agreement at the beginning of the school year acknowledging the expectations and requirements of the course.

The AP designation on a student's transcript is contingent upon completion of the corresponding AP exam. Students who choose not to take the required AP exam may have the AP designation removed from the course on their transcript. Exceptions may be granted by school administration for documented or extenuating circumstances.

Dual Enrollment Classes

During the academic year, students are offered dual enrollment classes through East Los Angeles College. The classes are free and if the student passes the courses, they will receive college credit.  ELAC classes are held online.  CSHM partners with Arizona State University to offer students the opportunity to take a college course after the regular school day.
