AP COURSES + HONORS

COME SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Exceptional Performance

Advanced Placement at Woodlawn

Woodlawn currently offers eight Advanced Placement (AP) courses in the Upper School curriculum. Students who score 3 or above on AP exams are often awarded college credit or placed in higher-level college courses. AP courses currently offered include Biology, Calculus AB, Chemistry, English Language, English Literature, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, and US History.

73 members (56%) of the Classes of 2010-2019 were recognized as AP Scholars for their exceptional performance on AP exams while at Woodlawn.

About AP Courses...

Before I left Princeton for break, I received a letter indicating that due to my AP scores I qualify for something Princeton calls advanced standing. This means that I have completed enough prerequisites with my APs that, if I wanted to, I could take a leave of absence for a semester in either my sophomore or junior year either to travel or to complete an internship, and still graduate with my class in 2016. Woodlawn has prepared me so much for college that the education I received is equivalent to a semester at Princeton!

Exceptional Performance

Advanced Placement Scholars

Over half of all Woodlawn graduates have earned Advanced Placement (AP) Awards based on their exceptional performance on AP exams. Students who score well on AP exams may earn college credit as well as placement into higher-level college classes. Woodlawn currently offers eight Advanced Placement courses in its upper school curriculum.

The highest AP Award, National AP Scholar, is given annually to the top 1% of Advanced Placement students. In North Carolina, for example, only about 500 students qualify for National AP Scholar recognition each year.

Out of our 141 graduates (Classes of 2010-2020), 73 have earned an AP Award – click on the student photos below to view more information about their post-Woodlawn activities.

Middle School Teacher, STRIVE Prep, Denver, CO

Published May 2018

Hey! I'm Emma Haupt. In just a few short weeks I'll be graduating and completing my eighth and final year at Woodlawn and starting my freshman year at St. Olaf College. I plan to study Organ Performance and Sacred Music. I started playing the pipe organ two years ago and haven't stopped playing since!

Though I'm excited to be heading off to St. Olaf in the fall, I'll be sad seeing Woodlawn in my rearview. Ever since I started at Woodlawn as a fifth grader I have had experiences beyond my imagination. I remember the first time my class went on an overnight field trip to the Columbia Zoo and we had the chance to learn about elephants by touring the enclosure with a zoo keeper. In eighth grade I traveled with a group of Woodlawn students to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico where we explored the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza!

After graduation who knows how far the world will take me, but one thing I know for sure: I'll always be a Woodlawn Trailblazer, blazing my own path through life.

Emma is Director of Music Ministries in Buffalo, New York and also teaches ESL at the high school level.
