AP & IB
The Yakima School District provides a variety of opportunities for students, while they are in high school, to earn college credits or receive advanced placement in college.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT
Advanced Placement programs are college-level courses and exams offered at Eisenhower. Students have the opportunity to receive advanced placement and/or credit when they get to college. The main value is derived from the intensive course of study that includes additional reading, writing, and discussion opportunities. A subject can be learned in greater depth than regular classes, with the chance available to develop analytical reasoning skills.
Career Opportunities: AP prepares students for the future by giving them tools that will serve them well throughout their college career.
How to get involved in the AP Program: Work with your counselor in the ninth and tenth grades to help plan your courses and which honors and AP classes to take.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
The International Baccalaureate Program is the world class academic college preparatory program offered by A.C. Davis High School. Students have the opportunity to receive credit when they enroll at colleges or universities. The primary value of this intensive course of study is the extra preparation and skill development that allows students to excel in their post high school opportunities. Research skills, vocabulary development, time management, and conceptual learning are emphasized, in addition to the subject matter.
The International Baccalaureate Program offers external assessment by examiners from around the world on English and history papers, science lab notebooks, mathematics portfolios, foreign language tapes, art research notebooks, and music CDs. Exams are given during the spring of the junior and senior years. Students wishing to complete the entire International Baccalaureate program may earn the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma.
To get involved in the International Baccalaureate program students should be willing to work hard and take honors courses in the subject areas that they are interested in during the ninth and tenth grade. The International Baccalaureate courses are offered in grades eleven and twelve.
