[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not strictly "AP focused" as that sounds like it's just test prep for AP exams, which this isn't really. It's about a solid foundation on classical education (similar to Latin) with available acceleration in other subjects like math and science (not available at Latin), and an opportunity and encouragement to take a large number of AP courses. It's more broad than just an AP focus - but there would definitely be a strong focus on getting a jump start on college. AZ Basis students can often have all requirements met ahead of time, to graduate a year early and go straight into college before 12th grade.[/quote] Maybe in the brochure, but in AZ most 9th graders take 2-4 APs (all take at least 1) and by 11th grade most take between 5-9 APs. It is an AP school, plain and simple.. the only other focus is college admissions. They do pretty well on that, but only with the kids that are left.[/quote]
