Congregated Advanced Placement (AP)
The Congregated Advanced
Placement (AP) Program at Marshall McLuhan provides an enriched
learning environment for highly motivated, self-directed, responsible life-long
learners in the areas of English, Math and Science. Pre-AP classes begin in Grades 9 and 10,
which foster the development of study skills and work habits necessary for
success in later years. The program
follows the Ontario Curriculum, but is richer in depth and breadth and includes
enrichment activities, such as, contests, field trips, guest speakers, and
other authentic learning experiences. AP
classes are offered in Grades 11 and 12 that prepare students to write AP exams
with the possibility to earn advanced placement and/or credit in university.
We
encourage any student who is motivated and seeking an enriched learning
opportunity to apply, including students identified as Gifted and those in the
Extended French program. Admission into
the Marshall McLuhan Congregated AP Program will be based on a Specialty
Program Application via Secondary SOAR (online), which includes most
recent report cards, CAT 4 scores, a writing sample, principal and teacher
recommendations, as well as the student’s willingness to commit to the level of
enriched study required.
