Congratulations to Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy, which was awarded Gold on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll! The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results and broadening participation for students.
Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing their school’s college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Collegiate Academy had 65% of seniors who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 42% of seniors scoring a three or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 23% of seniors who took five or more AP Exams! Collegiate Academy offers 29 AP courses across all subjects, including English, math, science, social studies, art, and computer programming.
“We are continually working to improve the AP experience at Collegiate Academy and are proud of the hard work and determination put forth by our students and teachers. As our AP program grows, we have seen students explore new subjects and dive into content at the college level. The critical thinking skills developed in AP classes transfer to their other coursework and prepare them for future success. These accomplishments are a reflection of the individual perseverance of our students and the supportive learning environment we cultivate at Collegiate Academy.”
Jim Vieira, Dean

College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admissions officers that students have sought the most challenging curriculum available to them, and research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students.
