Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement is a program of rigorous courses equivalent to introductory college classes. Each course culminates with an examination developed by the College Board. Colleges and universities have individual policies related to entering freshmen matriculating out of a college course with an acceptable score (usually 3 or higher) that has been earned on an AP examination. Students who enroll in an AP course at BHA are not required to complete the exam when no alternative class is offered.
23-24 AP Courses At BHA
BHA currently offers eight AP courses in humanities, math, sciences, and technology.
- AP Computer Science A
- AP Computer Science Principles

BHA will attempt to administer exams on campus for courses taught, following College Board dates and times. BHA will not administer exams for courses not offered nor accommodate students who do not attend the school. Students must remain on campus during scheduled exams and attend all regular classes.
