AP

Advanced Placement (AP) classes are college-level courses offered in high schools. These courses give students the opportunity to engage in college-level work while still in high school. By taking AP classes, students can challenge themselves academically, demonstrate their readiness for college, and potentially earn college credit by scoring well on the AP exams.

AP classes cover a wide range of subjects, from English and History to Math and Science. The rigor of AP classes can better prepare students for the demands of college coursework and may also enhance their college applications by showcasing their academic abilities.
