Advanced Placement Courses

Advanced Placement courses are designed to challenge highly motivated students who have demonstrated exceptional academic ability and who wish to study at the college level while still in high school.

The College Entrance Examination Board provides tests for all Advanced Placement courses. These tests are administered during the month of May. Students must register to take the AP exam in advance and pay the required fee. Information is available in the Guidance Department. If this fee will cause a financial hardship, students should contact their guidance counselor for information about financial assistance. In order to be considered for college credit or college standing, students must satisfactorily complete these tests. Students enrolled in AP courses should check with the college of their choice to receive information concerning the college's policy regarding Advanced Placement credit and/or standing.

Listed to the left you will find the AP courses which are offered at Nashua High School North/South by department. Please note that only courses which have adequate enrollment will run.  Students are encouraged to discuss taking AP courses with their parents, guidance counselors, and teachers. All students who participate in Advanced Placement courses are expected to take the Advanced Placement exam which is administered in May.
