Advanced Studies
Princeton High School offers two advanced studies programs designed to challenge the students with college level content and skills. Both programs are equally challenging. Some students will take only Advanced Placement (AP) courses, sponsored by the CollegeBoard. Some will take only International Baccalaureate (IB) courses sponsored by the International Baccalaureate Organization. Others will take courses in each program. The following information will present an overview of the Advanced Studies programs at Princeton High School and help parents and students make the best choices when scheduling classes.
