AP
Enrolling in Advanced Placement (AP) courses can help your child start their college education early while in high school. These courses offer challenging, college-level material that helps build critical thinking skills and academic confidence. Doing well on AP exams can earn your child college credit, potentially saving money on tuition and allowing them to graduate sooner. Excelling in AP classes can also make your child's college applications stand out, demonstrating their readiness for higher education. Investing in AP testing gives your child a valuable tool for success in both academics and finances, setting them up for a bright and successful future. We are excited to offer the nine AP courses below!
· AP English Literature
· AP World History
· AP US History
· AP Psychology
· AP Computer Science
· AP Art Design
· AP Spanish Language
· AP Seminar
· AP Physics
