Record-breaking year for AP awards and recognition
  • Record-breaking year for AP awards and recognition

The Advanced Placement (AP) program at Trinity College School continues to offer an opportunity for enrichment, through a broad range of courses, to students who are motivated in a given subject area and possess the learning skills to support advanced-level courses. As always, AP exams test students’ ability to perform in university-level courses. Scored on a scale from 1 to 5, exams earning a grade of 3 represent a pass, with a 5 indicating that the student is “extremely well qualified” at the university level in a given subject.

As the community re-emerged from the global pandemic and the examinations returned to a more traditional format, post online and hybrid offerings of the previous two years, an impressive 160 TCS Senior School students joined the millions of students worldwide to write the College Board AP examinations. In 2022, a total of 309 examinations were written resulting in 82.5 % of our students earning an examination score of 3 or higher and the largest number of scholar designations in our history with the AP College Board. There were 61 AP Scholar designations this year, averaging 3.69.

AP Capstone results

2022 also saw the eighth cohort of students complete the two-year AP Capstone Diploma™ program. This year, nine students earned diplomas, having achieved a score of 3 or higher in AP Seminar, AP Research and four additional AP exams of their choosing. Congratulations to Emma Aitchison-Madill, Isolde Ardes, Morad Aref, Riley Christensen, Jan Heckel, Aiya Hyslop-Healy, Kristie Lam, Claire Marcotte and Madison Narciso. The AP Seminar and Research Certificate™ was awarded to Motiboluwaduro (Bolu) Abiola, Liliacees (Lily) Beaumont-Boulanger, Benjamin Boon, Valentina Conrad, Taige Emtage, Ellice Huhe, Megan Johnston, Stephanie Lane, Aneesa Momodu, Ebubechukwu (Ebube) Onyeka, Frédérique (Fred) Savard, Julia Steele and Jamil Velji, who each earned a score of 3 or higher in both the AP Seminar and AP Research courses.
