Advanced Placement Programme
Sacred Heart School of Halifax has developed a vigorous AP Programme designed to help high school students make a successful transition to higher education.The College Board, which has run the AP Programme since 1955, has developed a range of college level courses that expand upon our regular high school curriculum in the arts, sciences, mathematics and languages.
AP courses are challenging and stimulating and require a greater commitment from students. In return, the AP courses offer greater opportunity for intellectual challenge, individual progress and accomplishment. Students who do well on the examinations may earn a university credit or an advanced standing at many universities and colleges across Canada and the United States.
Students in Grades 11 and 12 are chosen to participate in the programme based on how well they prepared for it, their willingness and ability to meet its academic challenges, and the level of support they have from family.
