Pinewood is committed to providing AP and Honors level courses to all eligible students; course enrollment is not based on a maximum number of AP courses. Eligibility for enrollment in AP courses is determined by teacher recommendation and/or department consent. Though most of our AP courses are designed for juniors and seniors, we offer AP World History to qualified sophomores.
