Loveland High School

Advanced Placement Courses

Advanced Placement (AP) courses follow a national curriculum provided by The College Board the publishers of the SAT college entrance exam. These courses give students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. Each May, AP exams are offered to students as they complete their coursework. Students earning a minimum score on the exam may receive either elective credit or course replacement credit depending on the college or university policy. Parents and students are encouraged to review these policies on the college website for the colleges in consideration. These are college level courses that reflect a student’s willingness to follow the demands and rigor of college level studies. AP courses assist students in stretching themselves to think or learn at a higher level and will help students stand out in the college admission process.
