St. Thomas is a college preparatory school, so every course a student takes at St. Thomas is designed to prepare them for the next academic level.

Advanced level courses are designed to prepare students for the rigors of our AP or dual credit courses. They move at a faster pace, dive deeper into the content, and use additional resources within the curriculum.

AP courses are classes that are developed and created by the College Board. The goal for these classes is to prepare the students to pass the end-of-year AP test for possible college credit.
