Advanced Placement—AP®
The AP curriculum, administered by The College Board, consists of standardized high school courses that are roughly equivalent to undergraduate college courses. After completing an AP class, students typically take the AP exam in that subject, which can earn them credits and accelerated placement in college. See course guide for current offerings under the Registrar tab. Registration for courses takes place in November for the following school year. Application forms and fees are required. https://ap.collegeboard.org/
