Advanced Placement ( AP ) Classes :
Advanced Placement ( AP ) classes are a great opportunity for students to stretch their academic muscles and potentially earn college credit while still in high school .
We offer several courses that have curricula and syllabi aligned with the College Board standards ( see ' Course Descriptions '). For those courses , students can earn AP credit on their Alzar School transcript . With a few exceptions ( such as AP World History ), most AP courses are designed for junior and senior year students . Students in 10th grade may be permitted to enroll in AP classes at Alzar School , depending on whether the student is enrolled in the corresponding AP semester at their sending school . More on appropriate grade levels for AP courses can be found here :

AP courses are designed as full-year courses . Students wishing to register for AP classes at Alzar School should be registered for the same AP class at their sending school . In other words , a student wanting to take AP US History at the Alzar School for the spring semester should have already completed the fall semester at their sending school .
AP testing is available on-campus for all Spring semester students . Students may opt to take AP exams beyond the AP classes they attend at Alzar School as well . Exam fees will be paid by families from student accounts . Alzar School ’ s Director of Studies will coordinate with families ( both fall and spring ) regarding our process for AP exam ordering .
