• The Advanced Placement (AP) Honors Program: AP-Honor Course Sequence

    Stanton’s Advanced Placement/Honors Program of Study is a rigorous Pre-University academic progression where all of the student’s core courses (Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics) are offered at either Honors or Advanced Placement level.  A student progressing through the 12th grade and graduating from the Stanton AP/Honors Program will have completed study in a minimum of 9 Advanced Placement courses and would have had access to many more throughout their progression.  In an annual survey that the  conducts, "The Admission Trends Survey," the category that consistently ranks at the top of desirable characteristics of high school students is “Grades In College Prep Courses.”  With that thought in mind, Stanton’s Advanced Placement/Honors students prepare themselves for the rigor of college curricula as well as college admissions through the Advanced Placement/Honors Program.
