All subjects and courses are offered at the following levels:

  • Advanced level courses offer college-level curriculum and pacing that, upon successful completion, prepare the student to sit for the College Board Advanced Placement Exam in that subject.

  • Honors level course curricula offer more rigor, depth, and faster pacing than a standard college-preparatory course, requiring students to meet higher standards of academic performance. Honors courses are appropriate for hard-working students seeking further challenge.
