AP SpANISH
AP stands for "Advanced Placement" which is the equivalent of a post high school course taught at a college or University. Passing this class with a "3" or higher will allow for college credit to the college or university that students choose to enroll and is also an important criteria to be qualified to earn the "California Seal of Biliteracy" which means that they are recognized by the state of California as someone who is proficient in both English and Spanish in this case. Great advantage for future job opportunities and community support.
