Be challenged. Advanced Placement classes are rigorous and demanding, offering an intellectual stimulation that students won’t get in regular high school courses. Improve college admissions chances. AP classes will raise the “wow” factor of a student’s high school record. If a student does well in an AP class, it’s a signal to admissions counselors that he or she is ready for the pressures of college study. Arrive at college better prepared. AP classes sharpen students’ writing skills, teach them how to think critically, and improve their problem-solving abilities. AP students learn to navigate the academic expectations they’ll encounter in college courses. Earn college credit. AP exams are scored on a scale of 1 (lowest) through 5 (highest). If a student earns a 3 or higher, he or she can receive course credits, advanced placement, or both upon arriving at college. AP policies vary from school to school, but the majority of colleges in the U.S. (as well as colleges and universities in 40 other countries) grant credit and/or accelerated placement for AP exams. Earn scholarships. AP courses and exam scores help students qualify for scholarships. According to The College Board, 31 percent of colleges and universities look at AP experience when making scholarship decisions. (referenced through Study Point Inc.)
Âť
When selecting an AP course or courses for your schedule please keep the following in mind:
1.
Archbishop Moeller High School and its Faculty have been approved by the College Board to offer more than 16 different Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These courses follow the prescribed AP curriculum and are academically equivalent to college-level instruction. Each course concludes with an AP examination, which allows students the opportunity to earn college credit for the courses.
2.
AP courses culminate in a suite of college-level assessments developed and scored by college and university faculty members as well as experienced AP teachers. AP Exams are an essential part of the AP experience, enabling students to demonstrate their mastery of college-level course work.

Âť Once the student has selected their courses; it is the understanding of the administration, the faculty, and the counseling department that the student (under the guidance and direction of their parents) has fully reviewed and committed to the schedule they have selected by April 22nd. Past that date, no changes may occur. Âť Dissatisfaction with a course or teacher, academic difficulties in a course, displeasure with the schedule, rigor of the schedule, or a change of mind are not valid reasons for requesting a change of course or schedule.
Âť Limited Exception: Changes to course selection /schedule may occur based solely upon faculty recommendation of course level change (a move up or down in level), and must be approved in conjunction with the Counseling Department and Administration.
