Advanced Placement Credit

因为学科之间的整合是牛津大学学术研究的核心, we do not offer Advanced Placement classes. 然而,我们每个学期都有几个学生选择继续他们的A.P. studies by following along with the sending school curriculum or taking an online course in addition to the core curriculum at Oxbow. The ability to manage such a workload is very demanding; therefore, it is recommended that students limit their independent studies in A.P. to a maximum of two classes. Students who take Advanced Placement exams in Calculus, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, U.S. 历史和环境科学在每年春季的考试中都表现得很好. 不推荐实验科学,因为牛津大学校园里没有任何实验室设施.

Students who need to pursue A.P. 而在Oxbow,学生们被要求在入学前与各自的老师建立定期的支持. It is important for A.P. students to understand that it will require additional work before, during, and after attending Oxbow. Students are encouraged to be self-directed in managing their A.P. workload on their own time. 承担额外工作的牛轭校友热情地表示,在牛轭上学是值得的.

If students plan on taking an A.P. 如果参加春季考试,他们必须通过A学校报名参加考试.P. 协调员在秋季学期,并签署了“延迟测试”日期在家里进行. Students may not register to take A.P. tests in Napa during the Spring semester.
