While we fully support students who choose this path, we also believe that the traditional AP model can be problematic, as it often encourages the superficial coverage of content rather than deep, meaningful exploration of topics that resonate with students.&nbsp;<\/span><br><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-text-text-transform );\">Our curriculum is designed to engage students in rich, in-depth study across subjects &#8211; such as Biology, English, World History, and Calculus &#8211; which align with much of the content found on AP exams. However, for the remaining material not covered within our coursework, students have the flexibility to use their Flex Time to prepare for these exams.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To further support students who wish to take AP tests, we partner with a school where students can register to take the exams of their choice. While we do not offer AP classes, we are committed to providing the resources and guidance needed for students to succeed on AP tests, should they choose to pursue them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4664c79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4664c79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Graduation Requirements<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19113c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19113c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>English (4 years)<\/strong>: Three years of English Language &amp; Literature and two semesters of English electives.<\/li><li><strong>History (3 years)<\/strong>: Two years of World History in 9th-10th grade and one year of American History &amp; Civics.<\/li><li><strong>Math (3 years)<\/strong>: Three years of study at least through Algebra 2.
