These Devon Prep seniors were recognized for their extraordinary achievement on college level Advanced Placement exams taken last spring. Only 18% of the more than one million students who took AP exams in May 2009 performed at a sufficiently high level to merit such recognition.
The AP Program, sponsored by the College Board, is a cooperative educational endeavor between high schools and colleges and universities. It exposes students to college level material through involvement in an AP course and it gives them the opportunity to demonstrate that they have mastered it by taking an AP exam. Most of the nation’s colleges and universities award credit and/or advanced placement based on successful performances on the AP Exams.
Devon Prep’s Advanced Placement (AP) Program begins in the sophomore year and offers more than 17 courses in numerous subjects including history, biology, physics, English, geography, political science, French, Spanish, German and more.
