Advanced Placement Policy

Advanced Placement (AP) courses offer a multitude of benefits to high school students. Firstly, they provide an opportunity for students to foster intellectual curiosity and academic growth. By challenging students with college-level material, AP courses help prepare high school students for the rigor of higher education, cultivating essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and time management. Moreover, successfully completing AP courses and exams can lead to college credit, allowing students to save both time and money in their post-secondary education journey. Overall, the benefits of AP courses extend far beyond the classroom, shaping well-rounded individuals poised for future success.
