AP/Dual Credit
AP Classes: TCS offers limited Advanced Placement classes available to juniors and seniors. Depending on their AP exam grade at the end of the year, students can earn up to six college hours per AP-level class. Credit is generally awarded to students scoring a three (3) or higher on the AP Exam. Through AP’s college-level courses and exams, students stand out in the college admission process.
Students enrolled in AP courses must meet the guidelines outlined in the Parent-Student Handbook. Pre-AP classes are pre-requisites for AP courses. TCS requires students who take AP courses to take the AP Exam. There is a fee for each AP Exam taken and fees are not included in tuition. One additional (1.0) quality point will be earned by the student who takes an AP course.
