Advanced Placement Studies
The College Board's Advanced Placement Program (AP) enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Through 34 college-level courses, each culminating in a rigorous exam, AP courses provide willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit. Taking AP courses also demonstrates to college admission officers that students have sought out the most rigorous curriculum available to them. Dominican High School currently offers AP English, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Biology, AP United State History, AP European History, and AP Computer Programming.Advanced Courses
