However, students in many of our elective classes in the Upper School prepare for (and perform well on) Advanced Placement exams. Waynflete also offers students in grades 9 and 10 a choice of Honors courses (designed to provide greater intellectual depth and more opportunities for accelerated learning) in English and Intensive courses (designed for students who are interested in covering topics in greater depth) in the Sciences. The Math Department also offers accelerated classes for students with a strong interest in and facility for mathematics.
