Why Take Advanced Courses?

Students in advanced classes:

• Learn harder and more interesting lessons.

• Get better at thinking and solving problems.

• Feel more confident about themselves.

• Show they are ready for college.

• May earn college credit before they finish high school.

• May spend less time and money in college.
