Advanced Placement (AP) Courses
Participating in the AP Program gives students the opportunity to take college-level courses while they are still in high school. Students develop writing skills, problem-solving techniques, and study habits that will prepare them for college academics. Taking rigorous AP courses demonstrates a student’s maturity and commitment to academic excellence which can help them stand out in the college admissions process.
See the NRHS Course Catalog for a complete list of courses and prerequisites. All students enrolled in an AP class must take the AP exam. The cost is approximately $97.
Credit Flexibility
Credit Flexibility is designed to increase curricular options available to students, increase the depth of study available for a particular subject and tailor the learning time or conditions needed to complete a high school diploma.
Students may earn credits by:
• Completing coursework
• Testing out of or demonstrating mastery of course content
• Pursuing one or more “educational options” (e.g., distance learning, educational travel, independent study, an internship, music, arts, after-school tutorial program, community service or other engagement projects and sports.)
Credit flexibility is intended to motivate and increase student learning by allowing:
• Access to more learning resources, especially real-world experiences
• Customization around individual students needs
• Use of multiple measures of learning especially those where students demonstrate what they know and can do, apply the learning, or document performance
If interested in pursuing a credit flexibility option, please see your school counselor to discuss your plan before completing the form below.
