The school board has approved Advanced Placement (AP) courses (grade 12) and the Preparation for Advanced Placement (AP-Prep) courses (grades 9–11) as the PACE program’s curriculum extensions in the areas of Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and English. The focus of the AP-Preparatory Courses is to align the curriculum extensions/modifications with the Advanced Placement exams offered through the International AP College Board. Students will have the opportunity to take university destination courses and have the option of writing the exam which may allow them a university credit or advanced standing in certain universities. The APprep courses will provide excellent preparation in the areas of analytical thinking, widening students’ scope of knowledge and understanding, and facilitating strong language skills.
