先修学分

Because integration between disciplines is central to academic studies at Oxbow, we do not offer Advanced Placement classes. However, we have several students each semester who choose to continue their A.P. studies by following along with the sending school curriculum or taking an online course in addition to the core curriculum at Oxbow. The ability to manage such a workload is very demanding; therefore, it is recommended that students limit their independent studies in A.P. to a maximum of two classes. Students who take Advanced Placement exams in Calculus, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, U.S. History, and Environmental Science perform very well on the exams each Spring. 不推荐实验科学,因为牛津大学校园里没有任何实验室设施.

Students who need to pursue A.P. 而在Oxbow,学生们被要求在入学前与各自的老师建立定期的支持. 这对A很重要.P. students to understand that it will require additional work before, 在, 在牛津大学毕业后. Students are encouraged to be self-directed in managing their A.P. workload on their own time. 承担额外工作的牛轭校友热情地表示,在牛轭上学是值得的.

If students plan on taking an A.P. exam in the Spring, they must register for this test through their sending school A.P. 协调员在秋季学期,并签署了“延迟测试”日期在家里进行. Students may not register to take A.P. tests in Napa 在 the Spring semester.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Programs

It may not be possible for students enrolled in full IB (International Baccalaureate) programs to continue IB coursework while at Oxbow; students enrolled in full or partial IB programs should consult with their sending schools to ensure that they will receive credit for Oxbow coursework.
