Advanced Placement Program (APP)
Unlike the CEP, assessing a student’s qualification for the Advanced Placement is left to the discretion of the core departments concerned: they may wish to use the results of the Ateneo College Entrance Test, if applicable, or administer a different examination, whether oral or written. They may also confer this status on a student by virtue of his or her having received an excellent mark in the same course from a reputable high school.
Like the CEP, the Advanced Placement status is given to students who, as a result of a strong secondary education or other forms of formal or non-formal training, have already achieved the learning objectives of particular courses required in the core curriculum. The Advanced Placement Program does not exempt the student from a course; the students are asked to replace the course with a more advanced course in the same discipline. This program is designed to help gifted students push further the boundaries of their learning.
Courses included in the Advanced Placement Program are English 11, Foreign Language and Culture, and Filipino 11 and at the discretion of the Math Department – Math 11 and Math 18.
