Pre-Advanced Placement (PreAP)The purpose of the Pre-AP Initiative is to engage ninth and tenth grade students in active, high-level learning, thereby ensuring that the students develop the skills, habits of mind, and concepts needed to succeed in college level courses. Rigorous curriculum and instruction challenge the students to expand their knowledge and skills in preparation for the college-level environment of AP courses. Pre-AP courses require more homework and a faster-paced learning environment, but provide greater opportunity to explore a subject in greater depth, with greater rigor. SBISD is committed to expanded access in challenging courses as it seeks to prepare every student for post-secondary success. Weighted grades are awarded for Pre-AP courses in the four core subject areas. (Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies).
