The purpose of the Advanced Placement program is to teach college-level work at the high school level. Students making qualifying scores in the nationally administered exam are eligible for advanced standing in most colleges. The content of this course is limited to literature and composition. Formal instruction in grammar is attended to through writing and textual examples. The approach to literature is content oriented. The literary selections are not restricted to any single source. The selections are mostly classics from world literature. The compositions are expository, analytical, and persuasive, and emphasis on writing is that of respectable objectivity, laced with the student’s own creative voice.
