The AP Program offers college-level instruction to the academically successful student while in high school with the option of taking an Advanced Placement examination to possibly qualify for college credit. AP students are expected to work at an accelerated pace and to engage in outside reading and independent learning. The curriculum of AP courses is determined by College Board and focuses on preparing the student to take the Advanced Placement examination for that course. While AP courses are open to any student who wishes to take on the additional challenge of this advanced curriculum, students who choose to enroll should be prepared for the additional rigor of the course. AP and AP/GT courses concentrate on providing students with rigorous college level instruction while preparing students for the AP exams. Students are responsible for checking and ensuring that the college they are planning to attend will award credit for AP examination scores.

AP courses can be challenging, but it’s work that pays off. AP courses are often the most interesting and fulfilling courses a student takes in high school. AP teachers are among the most prepared, dedicated, and inspiring teachers at their schools. Students develop confidence, and learn the study habits and time management skills essential for success in college. 8
