These standardized AP College Board exams provide an opportunity for the student to earn advanced standing credit(s) for first year university courses.<\/p><h3>\u200bPre-AP Reach Ahead Courses for Grade 8 Students \u2013 Math and Science Program<\/h3><p>\u200bHigh achieving Grade 8 students in the subject areas of Science and Mathematics can apply to Pre-Advancement Placement classes prior to entering high school.<\/p><p>A minimum average of at least 85% in Grade 7 Science and Grade 8 Math is required to apply for the Pre-AP Reach Ahead Advanced Placement classes. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to enroll in Grade 9 Pre-AP Science and\/or Math in their Grade 8 year. These reach ahead Pre-AP courses create flexibility in the student\u2019s Grade 11 and 12 timetable and allow for further specialization in other Grade 12 Advanced Placement courses including: Art, Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, English, Geography, History and Physics.<\/p><h3>NEW!!
