Curriculum

Advanced Placement

Advanced Placement (AP)® courses enable students to pursue college-level courses while still in high school.

Master class Enlightium Academy (Enlightium) teachers help students in grades 10-12 work through AP courses to develop and apply the skills, abilities, and content knowledge they will need in college. Please review Enlightium’s AP Checklist for qualifications and prerequisites.

Due to the extensive workload associated with each AP course, students who wish to take multiple AP courses at one time should consider taking no more than two AP courses, unless approved by their Enlightium counselor. Each AP course is modeled after a comparable college course. AP exams that are administered by College Board in early May are an essential part of the AP experience, enabling students to demonstrate their mastery of college level coursework.

Students who pass an AP course but do not take the AP exam will receive credit for the AP course in their high school transcript only. To receive college credit for an AP course students must take the AP test and meet the score requirements. Successful AP exam scores are graded on a 5-point scale. A score of 3 is a passing grade, while a score of 4 or 5 is usually recognized by most colleges as a high enough score to receive college credit or waive a general course requirement. AP courses are accepted by most two- and four-year colleges and universities worldwide. Universities in more than 60 countries recognize AP exam scores in the admission process and/or award credit and placement for qualifying scores. Performing well on an AP exam means more than just the successful completion of a course.

Registration Deadline

Students must register for an AP course by September 15 of each school year. Some exceptions may be permitted after counselor and teacher review and approval.

College Board requires students to register for the exam as early as March.

Enlightium Academy school code: 481292.

Overview of Exam Scores

The final score is reported on a 5-point scale; 3 is a passing grade. Although colleges and universities are responsible for setting their own credit and placement policies, AP scores signify how qualified students are to receive college credit or placement:

5 = Extremely well qualified
4 = Well qualified
3 = Qualified
2 = Possibly qualified
1 = No recommendation

For more information, visit http://www.collegeboard.org/apid (students). Students can find additional information on these score reporting services and awards in the Bulletin for AP Students and Parents, in the AP Student Pack and at http://www.collegeboard.org/apstudents.

Dropping a Course

Students will have a 14-day trial to determine if they would like to remain enrolled in the class; families should contact their counselor immediately if they would like to drop a course.
