Advanced Placement, AP®
AP, or Advanced Placement, courses are rigorous, college-level courses taught at the high school level. Students are taught a rigorous curriculum with depth and breadth that follows the College Board required elements for each course. The purpose of the AP program is to enable students to be competitive with other students throughout the nation on challenging AP exams, which all AP students take in May. All AP classes provide a weighted grade based in a 5.0 A. Parents and student should review the College Board website for more details about AP.
