Princeton High School offers two advanced studies programs designed to challenge the students with college level content and skills. Both programs are equally challenging. Some students will take only Advanced Placement (AP) courses, sponsored by the CollegeBoard. Some will take only International Baccalaureate (IB) courses sponsored by the International Baccalaureate Organization. Others will take courses in each program.
