Grade 12 Courses

“Attending Stanstead College wasn’t something that was originally planned. It sort of popped up out of the blue. But it was a great experience and I am glad I went. It provided me another year to grow as an athlete but more importantly, the academics prepared me for university. Stanstead was a vital stepping stone for college life, as it mimicked what to expect. It was a great choice and I’d do it again.”
- Gracie Gilkyson, Class of 2022, Yale University

Why Advanced Placement?

Advanced Placement courses in Grade 12 offer academic enrichment, the development of study and test-taking skills, and, in many cases, first-year credits at college and university. AP allows students to choose enrichment in their stronger subjects and the development of study and test-taking skills. In addition, the external testing offered by the AP program is valuable in the university admission process because, unlike school marks, exam scores are comparable regardless of where the exam was administered. The AP curriculum truly completes our school program and complements the Stanstead mission. Stanstead College also offers the possibility of independent online courses.
