Accelerated Courses Accelerated classes are an

opportunity for students to be

challenged and advance quickly

through the academic system by doing

two academic years in one school

year. These opportunities allow

students to focus on AP courses later

on and/or give different options for

students with their course load.

All prerequisites must be taken at RCS in

order to ensure that students can handle the

rigorous demands of the course and have the

skills required to be successful with the

accelerated work and be properly prepared

for the AP exam.

AP courses provide students with

the opportunity to gain university

credits by successfully achieving a 4

or 5 on the AP examination.

Students must pay a $120 fee for

each AP examination. Teachers will

give recommendations to students

on their readiness for the AP exam

based on the student’s assignments

and practice exams.

The AP courses promote

independent study and allow

students to pursue more

challenging intellectual

activities. Students will

develop higher level thinking

skills and benefit from the

research and content

enrichment.

Students may enter an Accelerated

course or AP class if they do not

meet the prerequisites listed. A

student and their parents may

request a conference with an

Advanced Program teacher and the

RCS Principal. If a student is

granted permission into an

Advanced Program course then an

Academic Probation Contract will

be created and reviewed at the end

of September to determine the

student’s eligibility.

RCS gives students the opportunity to excel as we

challenge and educate Gospel-inspired, Spirit-

filled leaders to meaningfully impact our world.
