What is the AP?

Advanced Placement (AP) programs offer university-level classes and exams to high school students.The goal is to experience and succeed in post-secondary level work while still attending high school. The course work in a given subject is generally equivalent to a first-year university course. As a result, a student who achieves a score of 4 or 5 out of 5 is usually permitted to skip the corresponding course as a first year student in university.

  • The most challenging courses are considered when universities evaluate applications
  • Prepare for post-secondary workloads
  • Can achieve high school credits for high school graduation and university application
  • Most AP students who enroll in university start school with some credit
  • Flexibility to take courses only in areas students excel in
  • Students can take AP courses at a different high school
  • Increased interest and knowledge in a given subject
