Worldwide University Preparation
The Advanced Placement (AP) Courses offer qualified students the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. More than 90% of U.S. colleges and universities give credit and advanced placement to AP students who received a grade of 3 or above on the exams. Many U.S. colleges and universities offer sophomore standing to students who have a sufficient number of qualifying grades. In the U.K., universities view exam results as similar to British A-level results; consequently, students who succeed on three or more AP exams are well prepared for entry into U.K. universities.
Advanced Placement (AP) Program Overview
Most students may not take more than three AP classes during one school year. Students must have a B+ average in the prerequisite course and/or the permission of the Department Head in order to register for an Advanced Placement course.
