Honors & Advanced Placement
Over 20 Advanced Placement courses (and many Honors courses) are offered in Upper School. The actual offering of some courses is contingent on enrollment.
Students are enrolled in Honors and Advanced Placement courses based on the student's performance within a department in the preceding year and faculty recommendation. Shorecrest's course recommendation process allows a great deal of flexibility in scheduling as a student who excels in one discipline may well be in Honors and eventually AP courses in that department while pursuing a regular course in some other discipline. Similarly, a student who excels in a regular course during one year is very likely to be recommended for Honors work in that discipline for the following year. Most AP courses are only open to students in grades 11 and 12.
Courseloads
Ninth and tenth graders are required to take a minimum of six credits each year.
Eleventh and twelfth graders must take a minimum total of eleven credits over those two years with no fewer than five credits taken in either year.
Thinking of the eventual college process, the ultimate objective for each student is to build a curriculum which enables the student to achieve at a high level and which challenges her/him academically.
