College Board announced that Montverde Academy has been named to the 2025 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Platinum distinction.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
Montverde Academy had 81 percent of seniors who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 71 percent of seniors scoring a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 34 percent of seniors who took five or more AP Exams! Collectively, MVA offers 34 AP courses across 78 sections, with 25 qualified teachers teaching those courses.
“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”
“Our students are challenging themselves in the Advanced Placement classes at Montverde Academy,” said Mr. David Bernatavitz, Assistant Head of School, Upper School and Student Affairs at Montverde Academy. “When they do, they are not only demonstrating what they know; they are becoming increasingly resilient and curious. We are very proud of our students’ results and the care they are receiving from our dedicated faculty.”
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
