Advanced Placement is a program run by the College Board that allows you to take special high school courses that can earn you college credit and/or qualify you for more advanced classes when you begin college. These courses are designed to give you the experience of an intro-level college class while you're still in high school. Plus, you can get college credit for the class if you pass the AP exam. Please reach out to your counselor if you have more questions.
