Geneva offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses that fit into the overall curricular goals of the Rhetoric School. AP courses offer students opportunities to potentially earn college credit after learning the advanced material. All AP courses receive 1 credit (unless noted otherwise) and a .3 GPA enhancement on the Geneva transcript.
In order to enroll in an AP course for the following year, students must receive the recommendation of their current teacher within the same department the AP course belongs, as well as the approval of the Department Head and College & Academic Advisor. Approval will be given based on a student's academic performance within the department and overall academic record. Since AP courses are competitive and have a limited number of seats, priority will be given to those students who have demonstrated the highest achievement within the department and strongest overall academic record.
Students do not have to take an AP course in order to sit for the exam. Registration for all AP Exams occurs in the fall and each exam incurs an additional fee.
