Advanced Placement
The College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Program gives students an opportunity to seek college-level studies while still in high school. By taking the AP classes and exams, students may gain advanced placement and/or college credit. Students’ scores on AP Exams may earn them up to a full year’s credit from their college or university and be eligible for prestigious awards.
Being enrolled in AP courses enhances entry into major colleges and universities. This is especially important for those interested in highly selective colleges.
While AP courses are designed for juniors and seniors, qualified underclassmen may also register for these classes and examinations. Students are encouraged to take AP courses in their areas of strength or high interest.
