The Advanced Placement (AP) program makes college and university courses available for students while they are still in secondary school. The courses offered in this program are administered by the College Board which is recognized for advanced credit or placement in many Canadian and American universities
Students enrolled in AP courses get a feel for the rigours of college/university level studies within a supportive secondary school environment.
Students who successfully complete the AP exam associated with the course can potentially earn credits towards their transcript and may be able to enrol directly into the second-year course at the post-secondary institution they attend, subject to the policies of that institution.
Advanced Placement Exams
AP exams are offered to students seeking to challenge themselves academically and earn potential college credit. AP exams provide an opportunity for students to showcase their knowledge in a variety of subjects while gaining valuable skills for post-secondary success. The district offers a selection of AP courses, and students can register for exams in subjects ranging from the arts and sciences to languages and mathematics. Please connect with your school’s administrator for more information.
