Highlights 

Speakers/Trips

We have been lucky enough to welcome Dr. Heather Rollwagen, Sociology Professor at TMU to discuss how to succeed in first year. 

We travel to Hart House at U of T to take in a show and go on a campus tour of the St. George facilities. 

During the 2022-2023 school year, we have had several AP Alumni return to discuss their current studies and the transition including: 

2022 English

In May of 2022, 32 Martingrove students wrote the AP English Literature exam. ALL students who wrote scored 3 or higher. 

21 students scored 4 or higher. 

Of the 32 students, approximately 15 students used the exam for transfer credits. Several went to programs with no transfer credit such as Waterloo Engineering but report a minimal mark drop from high school to university and are doing well. 

Alumni from this group are all currently enrolled in post-secondary programs at Western, Waterloo, U of T, NYU, Guelph, Brock and Queen's University. 


Martingrove English AP students had a mean score of 4.11 in comparison to a mean global score of 3.31.


Our students are well prepared to be successful on AP Exams and in post-secondary.  


AP Exams

The final score for each AP Exam is reported on a 5-point scale that offers a recommendation about how qualified you are to receive college credit and placement—but each college makes its own decisions about what scores it will grant credit or placement for. Generally in Canada, a 4 or higher receives credit depending on university and program . A 3 or higher is considered qualified as a university prep course.  


AP Calculus A/B

Throughout the pandemic to present, AP Math students at MCI have done remarkably well on the exam. 


The class mean scores for the past three years have consistently outranked the Ontario and Global scores by a wide margin. 


Last year, the Calculus A/B mean at MCI was 3.55 and globally it was 2.91. 


AP Math Alumni are reporting success in competitive programs such as Waterloo Engineering and Western Medical Sciences. Furthermore, the AP Math has helped to prepare them for coursework in Physics and Chemistry.
