Well, that's a problem. About six or seven years ago, when T3 privates in DC decided to opt out of giving AP courses, the publics did not. Today the kids in publics who have taken 12-13 AP courses are getting into T25s and the graduates of the of the top privates are having difficulty. This was obvious at the time and many commented on it but the mangement types at the top privates thought they were smarter and better and could "fix" the system. What they did was hurt their own students.
Why do parents put up with these policies? One thing after the other and they are just hurting their students.
Why are you so gullible? You shouldn’t believe everything you read on DCUM.
The Big 3 private schools are not having any problems sending students to T25 colleges and universities. In fact, most of these schools are sending at least half of their students to T25s.
Use Google to determine the facts.

St Anselms has lots of AP classes and seminars. Semester long AP classes are APES and maybe AP Gov. AP Econ you do all year but it’s two AP exams. This year, school pays for student AP exams!
Biggest problem can be scheduling classes since there are not a lot of sections offered. My advice would be to sign up for classes at a CC, which is east to do junior and senior year.

What classes and what school is this? Our private has zero Aps for English or History. Only science and geography. Our child is pursuing an English major and already taken science AP.

I'm the pp you replied to (and not the person with a snarky note on your reply) - sometimes people are just curious what other schools offer. But, also, OP could be trying to collect information to use in a discussion with the school - perhaps with hopes of encouraging them to offer more AP in the future (even if it doesn't happen for her kid).
that makes sense

Noone said anything about transferring. Curious what types of classes kids take if their school has a very limited offering for senior fall ie: no honors seminars offered in the fall.

I didn't get any impression that OP was intending on moving schools...just asking about others' experiences.
