Coastal Christian High School of Wilmington, NC
Courses Of Study
Coastal Christian High School is a college-preparatory school that offers two levels of study:
- Standard College Preparatory Level (Standard): This level of study is designed to provide the academic level of mastery to the general student population and to provide them with the necessary skills needed for admission into a two to four-year college setting. This level of study is designed for the academically average student in mind. The CCHS graduation requirement at this level meets and exceeds the minimum state requirement for completion.
- Honors/AP Level: This level of study is designed to provide a more academically rigorous level of study for students who are highly motivated learners (average to above average). This level of study is preferable to students who desire to pursue entrance into a more academically selective four-year college or university. This level of study does require a greater amount of outside preparation as well as refined independent study skills.
- The AP courses offered at CCHS have met the rigorous standards set by a vast number of college and university faculty represented in the College Board. The curricular requirements and pace of study are directed by the College Board. All AP courses are designed for 11th and 12th grade students who wish to study at a college level (above average). Upon completion of each individual AP course, the student will participate in the national AP Exam given each May by the College Board. Each college or university has agreed to grant advanced credit for those students who score a 3,4, or 5 on each exam. There is an additional cost to this course for additional study tools and for the expense of each exam (See “Additional Fees” in the Student Handbook). This is an extremely rigorous track, and both parent and student must evaluate the time investment needed to succeed in this track. A greater amount of outside preparation is required as well as strong study skills. Students who demonstrate strong academic ability and are eager to pursue more competitive colleges and universities are encouraged to consider AP level of study.
