The Advanced Placement Program (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Montini Catholic’s academic program, which includes an offering of 17 AP courses, paves the way for higher academic achievement resulting in graduates accumulating over $86 million in academic scholarship offers in the past five years alone. 
 
Advanced Placement courses are high school courses presenting college level curriculum and include the opportunity to take a test at the end of the year to earn college credit.  Students can earn scores between one and five, and students must score at least a three to earn college credit.

Over 92% of the exams taken by Montini Catholic students earned a 3 or better resulting in college course credit at most universities.   
 
“Our students continue to demonstrate that they are ready to meet the challenges of college-level academics," said Principal Chris Tiritilli.  "With more than 92% of AP exams earning a score of 3 or higher, our students are proving that their hard work, combined with the support of our dedicated faculty, is preparing them exceptionally well for college and beyond.”
