Among 570 SAS students who completed 1337 AP exams in 2010, 285 students earned Advanced Placement Awards; in addition, 93% of all scores were 3 or higher, demonstrating qualification for college credit or advanced placement. AP exams SAS students have traditionally excelled in include Calculus BC ('08 mean score: 4.9); Chinese Language ('08 mean score: 4.8); World History ('08 mean score: 4.6); and Chemistry, Calculus AB, Biology, and Comparative Government & Politics ('08 mean score: 4.5). In addition, SAS graduates of 2000, 2001, and 2002 have received the AP International Scholar Award, given to only one male and one female student each year among all International American schools outside of the U.S.
In addition to AP courses, honors courses such as Molecular Biology**, Accelerated Chemistry**, Algebra II/Trigonometry**, and Pre-Calculus** are offered. These courses provided fast-paced learning and go into the depths of certain topics; making it more challenging for the students and better preparing them for Advanced Placement Courses.
