IS A PAP CLASS RIGHT FOR MY CHILD?
- If you are not sure your child is ready for the increased rigor of Pre-AP, but you would like them to be challenged, choose one class in a subject they enjoy or have already experienced success.
- Help your child make a decision that balances their academic needs and interest with all the other activities that fill her or her busy life.
- PAP Math is the only PAP class that requires a pre-requisite. Students can join PAP ELA, PAP Science, and PAP Social Studies without prior PAP exposure.
PRE-AP MATH
- 6TH Grade: Covers 6th and 7th grade TEKS
- 7TH Grade: Covers 8th grade TEKS
- 8TH Grade: Covers HS Algebra and counts as a HS credit.
