Senior students who register in enriched courses may also choose to participate in the Advanced Placement (AP) Programme, administered by the College Board in Princeton, New Jersey.

AP Examinations are offered annually in May throughout North America to give high school students opportunities to demonstrate college-level achievement. The examinations are graded on a five-point scale from 5 indicating the student is "extremely well qualified" in that subject at a first year college level to 1, the low point on the scale. Over 1000 post-secondary institutions in the USA and Canada regularly grant advanced placement into a second year course or credit for the first year course, to students presenting AP examination grades of 4 or higher.

Brentwood’s versatile timetable allows qualified students at any grade level to take advantage of the many Advanced Placement options offered at our school.  Most of the science AP courses offered at Brentwood are taught over a two year period (Pre-AP and AP) to ensure thorough preparation for challenging the examinations.
