"In the AP community, you will experience much more than just memorizing facts. Our teachers use a hands-on approach that makes information interesting and memorable, through creative assignments that encourage critical thinking and a stretch beyond the obvious. They make me love what I learn."
- Rebecca, Grade 11 Student
"The AP curriculum covers more information about a specific subject in a course. Instead of merely 'touching on' a topic, we examine a topic in depth and apply what we learn into a variety of challenging projects throughout the course that further our understanding of the information."
-Kelly, Grade 10 Student
"Going into the AP program, I was quite apprehensive, knowing that many of the other students had already created friendships. Despite this worry, I was immediately greeted through the AP program. Our teachers have also bonded with us very well, and always teach to meet our needs."
-Shannon, Grade 9 Student
"In the AP program, teachers look to take teaching students to a whole new level, putting in extra time to ensure not only success from all students, but also that every student enjoys themselves in an environment where they are able to play to their talents."
-Ryan, Grade 10 Student
"The AP program provides first access to opportunities such as leadership conferences and university funded programs. With knowledgeable teachers who are equipped to provide extensive information, students in the AP program are guaranteed to succeed."
-Renee, Grade 12 Student
"My classmates don't bite. Can't solve a problem? Chances are a classmate can- and they are always willing to explain and help. We even form study groups - to tackle the toughest problems and help each other study for tests and exams. It feels great learning with like-minded individuals."
-Aaron, Grade 11 Student
