What is AP?
Advanced Placement is a nationally recognized program that provides high school students with college-level coursework and the chance to earn college credit by achieving success on AP exams. Our AP courses span a wide range of subjects, from mathematics and science to humanities and the arts, allowing students to explore their passions and expand their horizons. This program offers high school students the opportunity to engage in college-level coursework and exams. These programs cover a wide range of subjects and key areas, and the focus can vary by subject.
Key Pillars of Our AP Program:

- College Readiness:- AP is more than just a high school program; it's a bridge to college. Our AP courses are designed to mirror the expectations and demands of college-level courses, giving students a taste of the academic challenges they'll encounter in higher education.

- Preparation for Success:- Success on AP exams not only demonstrates mastery of the subject but can also earn students college credit, potentially saving time and money in their higher education journey.
- Skills for Life:- Beyond subject-specific knowledge, AP courses emphasize critical skills such as research, analysis, problem-solving, effective communication, and time management—skills that are invaluable in college, careers, and life.
- Global Perspective:- Many of our AP courses incorporate global perspectives, encouraging students to think critically about the world around them and their place in it.
