We believe AP is an excellent opportunity for students who have demonstrated their ability to handle a difficult course load. It is not for everyone, as the extra work is very demanding, and largely independent - outside of class time. Students should discuss AP with their teachers and guidance counselors.

Most importantly, students who study AP courses enrich their learning experience, challenge themselves, and help prepare themselves for the rigours of their first year at university. The experience of the AP material and learning process is by far the most important benefit.
