what is AP?
Advanced Placement courses provide in-depth study in a number of subjects and preparation for national tests administered by the College Board, which are given in May of each year. These examinations are scored on a scale of one to five with five being the highest score. Many students who perform well on the Advanced Placement exams, upon entering college, receive college credit and/or advanced placement in their college course work. Each college determines its own Advanced Placement policy and will specify the score on each exam necessary for credit or advanced standing. A significant number of colleges and universities grant advanced standing to students who begin their studies with credits earned through the Advanced Placement program.
Curriculum will meet the requirements for taking the AP test. With the exception of AP Economics and AP US Government*, all AP courses are yearlong and students are expected to complete both semesters of the course. All students are expected to take the AP exam. The AP exam must be taken if the class is being completed as one of the requirements of the Core 40 with Academic Honors Diploma.
AP Capstone Program
AP Capstone Program
AP Capstone (Advanced Placement)
AP Capstone™ is a diploma program from the College Board. It’s based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar (11th grade) and AP Research (12th grade). Rather than teaching subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world.
Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research AND on four additional AP Exams of their choosing receive the AP Capstone Diploma™. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate.
