San Jose Secondary Schools Offer International Recognition with AP Subjects

Private Secondary Schools can offer International Recognition with AP Classes

Outside the U.S., universities in more than 60 countries recognize AP in their admissions processes. For this reason, students who are planning on taking extra classes at a community college may wish to think twice about taking an AP course at their high school or a school that offers AP. Not all junior college courses will be accepted for transfer credit, and may likely end up being a waste of time and effort. In northern California, a few Silicon Valley Private Schools are able to provide these Advanced Placement classes.

Individual colleges and universities, not the College Board or the Advanced Placement Program, set requirements for granting admission to their individual programs. Advanced Placement Exam performance is usually considered within the applicant’s complete academic transcript. Because these courses are graded on a 5 point scale, top students can obtain a GPA of over 4.0.

Grade Point Averages of 4.2 or more are in many instances required for admission to top tier universities. If your child can’t get an Advanced Placement class at your neighborhood public school, try calling a private high school. Cambrian International Academy is only one of the Bay Area private schools providing AP classes on a full time or class-by-class basis. Some will even offer you the courses in the evening or on a weekend.

Because admission policies vary from school to school, interested students should call the institution directly for more information regarding application procedures and policies. Appropriate contact information and URLs are furnished on the College Board website.
