Saltus Celebrates Strong AP Results For 2024
Saltus announced that 23 of its 2024 graduates were recognized for outstanding AP exam results, with several earning AP Scholar designations and two achieving perfect scores.
A spokesperson said, “Saltus is proud to announce the accomplishments of our 2024 graduates on their recent Advanced Placement [AP] examination results.
“Supported by the internationally recognised College Board [www.collegeboard.org], AP courses provide our students with the opportunity to earn college credit and demonstrate their proficiency in specific subjects before entering post-secondary education. Saltus has been offering Advanced Placement courses since 1975 and will continue to do so as a BC Offshore School as they are a strong complement to our programme.
“Seventy Saltus students took a total of 146 AP exams. Eighty-nine percent of the students who took an exam scored a 3 or higher, with 5 being the highest possible score. A score of 3 is typically the standard acceptance level as a subject credit in North American universities.
“To highlight their success and commitment to academic excellence, 23 Saltus students were recognised by the College Board for outstanding results:
“Eight students earned the designation of AP Scholar. This is awarded to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on 3 or more AP exams.
