New levels of academic
excellence have surfaced within our educational program. High schools and
Universities are working more closely together on mutual interests to provide suitable
incentives to increase learning expectations. A.P. classes provide a means of
upgrading classroom performance and capture the interest of bright students.
GOALS
-
To increase meaningful homework assigned by classroom teachers.
-
To improve the transition for students from high school to a college
setting in terms of higher expectations in course work.
-
To serve as a model for regular students in terms of motivation to
achieve nearer their potential.
-
To promote enrollments in classes advantageous to scholarship
consideration.
-
To place emphasis on success not failure.
-
To recognize different levels of ability and maturity.
-
To recognize excellence as a high priority.
These courses are taken at the junior/senior level and
constitute the most demanding culmination of academic high school work. They are
taught at a much more accelerated level of study using extensive reading and writing
assignments. The A.P. classes are taught on a college level with those kinds of
expectations. Toward the end of the A.P. course students will have the opportunity
to take an extensive A.P. exam by which they may earn college credit or advanced standing
in college. Further details on the A.P. program are available in Student Services. |
