Upper Elementary School Guidance

The purpose of Advanced Placement courses is to give students with exceptional ability an opportunity to earn college credit for work done in high school.

The Advanced Placement Program is administered by the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) that prescribes the curriculum and prepares and scores the final examination. The college to which a student is admitted determines if and how much credit is to be awarded. Advanced placement courses should be selected by only those students who have the goal of college credit in mind. All students who take Advanced Placement courses are expected to take the Advanced Placement examination.

The following Advanced Placement courses are offered at Westmoreland Central School. Tests will be in May at times set by CEEB (mornings or afternoons).

• English Literature

• English Language

• United States History

• World History

• Calculus AB

• Biology
  
  

Additionally, Westmoreland High School offers a number of dual credit courses with Mohawk Valley Community College. Upon successful completion of these courses, which are taught by our faculty, the students receive both high school and college credit. Students are responsible for purchasing the textbooks, but do not have to pay tuition. Currently, dual credit courses are offered in English, Social Studies, Math, Business, Art and Spanish.
