Advanced Placement Program
The Advanced Placement (AP) program offers high school students the opportunity to take university-level courses that develop advanced thinking skills, academic discipline, and college readiness. These rigorous courses are designed to enrich the academic experience of students and support their transition to university, whether local or abroad.
Participation in AP® courses helps students build strong academic skills and earn college credits in Philippine and international universities, making it a valuable head start in their university journey. AP provides students with an opportunity to go beyond the standard curriculum and gain early momentum in their academic pursuits. Its sessions are held after regular class hours.
The Advanced Placement® program is one of POVEDA's best features in Curriculum and Instruction based on POVEDA's PAASCU accreditation results in 2013 and 2018.
