How does AP work at John McCrae?

Subjects Supported

AP Subjects currently being supported at JMSS include:

All of these opportunities are at the Grade 12 level.  We do not offer "pre-AP" courses. We do not support study or host exams for subjects that are not on this list. These courses can change based on staff availability. 

Curriculum Requirements

AP classes are offered based on demand, and this can change every year.  Students work with their AP teacher-coach in an extra-curricular setting to enrich their learning experience and perhaps challenge the AP exam. 

It is important to note that all students must earn Ontario credits to graduate, so students engaged in AP subjects have the same tests, projects and examinations as those students who are not attempting AP. The AP extended learning is evaluated by the optional writing of the AP Examination in May (these exams are evaluated externally - by the AP College Board - and have no bearing on a student's Ontario transcript marks or attainment of Ontario credits). 

JMSS AP teachers offer resources and extra-curricular mentoring in these subject areas to help students in their preparation for the AP exams.  

AP coaching and exams are for JMSS students in Grade 12.
