Academics
Advanced Placement
Six subjects for focused study, with a maximum of two AP courses per school year.
Focused choices
Choose depth thoughtfully.
AEIS offers AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, AP Computer Science Principles, AP French Language and Culture, AP Macroeconomics, and AP United States History. The school limits students to two AP courses in a school year. Confirm course availability, readiness, and placement with the school.
The right conversation begins with the student’s interests and preparation. Consider how a subject relates to future study, what demands it may place on the student’s time, and how it sits beside other coursework, activities, and responsibilities.
The six subjects
Explore a direction.
Biology
An option for students interested in deeper study of living systems. Discuss prior science preparation and how this choice fits the rest of the student’s academic plan.
Calculus AB
An advanced mathematics option. Ask the school about the mathematical preparation and placement expected before taking the course.
Computer Science Principles
An option connected to computing. Discuss the course alongside the technology or computer science requirement and other interests in problem-solving.
French Language and Culture
An advanced option within the school’s language program. Discuss language preparation and how the course relates to the student’s broader French study.
Macroeconomics
An option for students interested in economic questions. Ask how it fits within the school’s course sequence and the student’s intended direction.
United States History
An option for focused historical study. Discuss reading and writing preparation, the course sequence, and how it relates to the student’s social studies plan.
Understanding the record
Rigor and GPA are distinct.
Honors and AP courses receive no additional points in the school’s GPA calculation. AEIS reports an unweighted 4.0 GPA and class rank within the graduating cohort. Universities make their own decisions about entry requirements and the recognition of examinations or coursework; do not assume a particular result.
