Advanced Placement
• Westwood Regional High School offers 12 AP courses.

What does that advantage look like?
1. Receive college credit for a particular AP course.
2. Be granted an exemption by the college or university from entry-level courses.
3. Gain tuition savings – up to a year of credit may be given to students with qualifying grades.
4. Have greater flexibility in scheduling and more opportunity to take electives.
5. Gain eligibility for honors and other special programs open to students who have received AP recognition.
