Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in the United States and Canada created by the College Board, which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. AP courses allow high school seniors the opportunity to jumpstart their higher education and obtain college credit during high school. What began as a unique opportunity for highly gifted and motivated students has become more of the norm. Nearly 2.5 million students take AP exams each year. Because of this, high school students essentially must take 1 or more AP exams, if offered the opportunity, in order to be competitive college applicants. Although their original purpose of providing college credit still exists, their foremost purpose is to strengthen college applications. Students who enroll in an AP course but have a low or no AP exam score will not have the same impact on colleges.

The transition can be difficult for many students—grades often drop due to much heavier course loads and much stiffer standards. But for our AP students, the move to post-secondary education is a smooth one. We are here to instill students with a rock-solid foundation of their subjects through the reinforcement of course content as well as strong exam-taking skills. With small group batches and a healthy learning environment, our teachers will help the students tackle their final exams.
