AP (Advanced Placement) Program
Hayfield's Advanced Placement (AP) Program
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are considered college-level courses and have exams administered by the Educational Testing Service. Students who take AP classes are required to sit for these external exams and receive an additional quality point value added to the final passing grade.
The AP program is offered in English, Social Studies, Math, Science, World Languages, and Fine Arts. AP courses are open to all students committed to rigorous, academic, college-level work. In addition to subject content, students will work on improving analytical reasoning and writing skills, study habits, and learning strategies.
More information about the national AP Program as well as information related to specific courses can be found at AP Central (http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/Controller.jpf ) or by contacting Christa Voegtle, Hayfield's Advanced Academic Coordinator.
- If you have questions about course scheduling, please contact your child’s counselor at High School Student Services.
- Descriptions of each course can be found by looking at Standard Course Offerings.

College Board Testing Accommodations
Students who would like to apply to the College Board for testing accommodations through their school must submit application and parental consent forms before January 15th in order to provide schools time to meet the submission deadline established by the College Board. Please contact your school’s Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) coordinator for additional information. Families can also submit requests directly to College Board.
Please note that testing accommodations listed on IEPs or 504s are not automatically granted for AP testing, so families must apply separately to the College Board. If a student already has College Board accommodations approved from a previous PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, SAT, or AP test, then no further action is needed. Once instated, accommodations remain in place for all College Board testing.
