Waterville Valley Academy has been recognized for student success in  the Advanced Placement program at the Platinum Level

College Board announced that WVA has been named to the 2024 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Platinum distinction.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.

“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, to earn college credit and placement, and to potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “The schools that have earned this distinction are proof that it is possible to expand access to these college-level courses and still drive strong performance – they represent the best of AP.” 

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 38 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.

Waterville Valley Academy is dedicated to its students' advancement and college preparedness. Our unique academic program allows students to pursue their athletic goals at the highest level while succeeding at the highest level of academics. WVA offers 14 different AP classes across academic disciplines.   We are extremely proud of the hard work put in by both students and staff to make this distinction possible.
