Marymount has committed to moving toward an independent curriculum by phasing out all remaining AP courses at Marymount over the next few years. This process began in 2008, when Marymount began replacing AP courses with rigorous, advanced college-level courses that fuel students’ intellectual curiosity, foster their love of learning, and develop critical skills for their future success. This transition is consistent with our peer schools in New York City and nationally, which have the resources – most notably the faculty – to support advanced courses that align with our mission-driven curricula. Courses are regularly reviewed and updated to meet the needs and interests of our students.
Examples of Marymount-designed advanced courses that are offered include:
Advanced Art History
Advanced English Literature
Advanced Molecular Biology
Advanced Chemistry
Advanced U.S. History
Advanced 2D Design
Advanced Drawing Portfolio
Advanced French Level I: Language & Culture
Advanced French Level II: Literature, Film & Culture
