Advanced Placement Courses

Advanced Placement courses are designed so that you can work directly with your teacher and your classmates. You will meet in regularly scheduled online chat rooms and discussion forums where you will participate in classroom discussion.

Working together as a class, you will follow a more traditional semester timeline, with specific starting and ending dates. Although you will maintain control of your study time, as you do with all our courses, there will be deadlines to ensure that everyone in the class keeps pace. You will continue to work independently on your own time, but you will also have direct communication with your teacher and your peers—the best of both worlds!

Advanced Placement courses differ in content and intensity from most high school courses. Students should expect work that is similar to a freshman-level college course. Based on how you score on the College Board examination, many institutions will award college credit. Students are not required to take the associated College board AP exam, and our courses are not directly affiliated with the College Board. However, the College Board has authorized these courses to use the AP designation.

While each AP Course is listed a “gifted course,” any student who has an interest in the subject and has met the prerequisites (if any), may enroll.

Students who choose to take the exam will need to make their own arrangements. Contact the College Board for assistance in locating a testing site, or contact a local high school to determine whether it administers the test.

Learn beyond the classroom and exceed your expectations!
