ADVANCED PLACEMENT/HONORS COURSES
St. Paul High School participates in a nationwide program of college-level instruction in high school conducted by the College Board. Students are prepared to take college-level examinations in English, European History, U.S. History, American Government Languages Other Than English (LOTE), Studio Art, and Calculus. Through AP's college-level courses and exams, students may earn college credit and advanced placement and stand out in the college admissions process.
It is required that students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses take the National Advanced Placement Examination. The required fee must be paid at the beginning of the second semester.
Honors courses cover the material in greater depth and breadth and require from the student a higher level of critical thinking, self discipline, creativity, and involvement. Students who complete an honors course with a "C" or better will earn an extra grade point.
