Chris and others: Actually, in Canada we do have advanced placement courses in high school, for which students are given credit at some universities . At Wilfrid Laurier University for example, non-Psych majors can get a half credit (equivalent to a one term course) in Psychology for AP "Challenge and Change in Society" with a minimum grade of 4. That is lost, however, if they take our Introduction to Psychology course. -Max Gwynn

And I must say I like it that way. You take college courses in college. High school is an very different kind of institution (we hope) and it is very hard to get students who have never known anything but high school to suddenly start acting like they're in college without any of the collegial context to support it. It's a bit like trying to race on ordinary city streets. Either you drive like everyone else, or someone's bound to get hurt. Chris --- Christopher D.
