Dual Enrollment Programs

Dual enrollment programs offer students the opportunity to enroll in a course that will earn both high school and college credit at the same time. Dual enrollment is a cost efficient route to a post-secondary diploma. In preparing for college, cost is always a factor. Students have the option of completing course work at a fraction of the cost of any college or university. To sign up for these classes or to receive additional information, please contact the Guidance Office at (315) 536-4420.

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses at PYA

Advanced Placement

The Advanced Placement (AP) program offered through Penn Yan Academy in cooperation with the College Board is designed for students capable of doing college level work and who will devote the energy necessary to complete the more rigorous and demanding requirements. AP exams are offered each year in May and could provide students with college credits. On a scale of 1 to 5, a student must usually earn a score of at least 3 or 4 in order to receive credit from a college or university. Each college or university decides the score a student must earn for credit. There may also be pre-requisite courses that must be taken before enrollment in an AP class and some require summer assignments be completed before the class begins. Check the PYA Course Offerings Handbook for information.

AP Courses Offered at PYA: AP US History, AP English Language and Composition, AP Literature and Composition AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and AP Music Theory.

The Gemini Program through FLCC provides students the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school.
