PCA will be adding two AP courses over the next two years.  We will begin with AP Seminar next year and then add AP Research the following year.  These course will benefit students in several ways:

- The course will add additional weight for GPA (similar to Dual Enrollement courses)

- The course can potentially earn college credit (based on score on AP Exam and colleges' criteria)

- The course will better prepare students for the rigor of college classes, specifically in writing papers for these particuluar courses begin offered.

SCCA has undergone the Stategic Planning process over the last year.  The first two priorities in the plan will impact academics and both schools will be following the implementation plan.
