Honors & AP
Saint Dominic Academy is dedicated to helping students achieve and excel in their academic studies by offering a wide variety of courses, including Honors-level and Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
An Honors-level course is more rigorous than the academic-level equivalent. Teachers expect a higher level of understanding and a greater degree of analysis from students, challenging them with in-depth reading, research, problem-solving, and creative achievement.
An AP course is a college-level class that culminates in a national exam which may earn college credit. Permission to enroll in an Honors or AP course requires students to meet prerequisites and receive administrative approval.
Students typically enrolled in Honors or AP courses exhibit the following characteristics:
- High academic achievement and intellectual ability
- Self-motivation and discipline
- Good organizational skills
