Course Placement for Freshman
Our courses include college prep, advanced, honors, and AP levels where each student is invited to create a schedule that challenges and motivates him. Freshman can take up to five honors classes and are invited to do so based on their Fordham Prep Placement Exam scores, 8th grade courses and grades, as well as Regents Exam scores (if applicable).
