Advanced Placement Program

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is an internationally recognized program that fosters success in higher education by encouraging students to develop critical thinking skills at the highest level. 

Students pursue university level studies while still in high school by preparing for and writing exams. Successful completion of exams earns students advanced placement and/or credit in university. Exams are recognized by universities throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. Thirty-four courses are offered in 19 subject areas by approximately 13,000 high schools worldwide. 

Students who write AP exams have the opportunity to earn credits in university and, more importantly, become comfortable with an enriched curriculum.
