#uniquelyASH, we are the only international school in the Netherlands offering the AP program, which has been a permanent part of our broad and challenging academic program for over 50 years. AP is recognized by universities in more than 60 countries worldwide - including the Netherlands - as a standard of academic excellence. As a result, many ASH graduates have earned anywhere from one college credit hour to full second-year standing, depending on the number of AP exams taken and the scores earned. We advise AP students who are applying to universities to inquire directly with the University Admissions office concerning its AP policy. AP grading is based on a scale of 1 through 5 with 5 being the highest mark.
