Glencliff High School provides students many opportunities to enroll in advanced coursework. 
Students are encouraged to challenge themselves academically and take advantage of the academic opportunities that best align with their postsecondary aspirations and goals. Many of these courses taken in high school can be applied toward college credit to save both time and money in the future.
Metro Schools encourages all students to consider pursuing challenging courses. Advanced courses can open future doors, be rewarding intellectually, and help students stretch themselves to reach their potential.
At Glencliff, students can work with their school counselors to learn more about, and enroll, in the advanced courses. Students enrolled in AP classes take a test in May, and based on their test results can potentially earn college credit.
